My experiences..... Posted by Ryan [Email] ![]() ![]() In Reply to: this is an extremely sad day for me..., modest mouse ![]() |
I've driven and owned an 86 8v 4dr, a 86 spg, and most receltly a 85t 3dr. My mom has a 95 900s, and i've had the chance to test it out. I haven't tried the 9-3 or 9-5 though.
My mom's car has the nice modern look, i personally like it, i also like the older look of the 85T. Interior comforts are good, seats are real nice, i love the black pannel feature (hit the black pannel button, it turns all non-essential lighting off in the cabin except the speedo, nice for night driving).
It's difficult to compare the cars since my NA vehicle was a 8v, vs my mom's 16V, and my turbos. Power is good, not as good as a turbo for sure, but still decent. I find the interior very comfortable, minus the A pillars, i don't like them, the OG's were much narrower, and allowed better visibility out the corner of your vision. I do quite like the gear boxes on the newer model, feels like a short shifter in use compared to the older one, and it's oh so nice to feel a newer tranny, smoooooooth
I think with some small mods (shocks, springs, tires) the newer cars could be a real winner, newer looks, and more comfortable. I like it, if i happen to find a NG900 turbo, i might just sell all i have to get it
Hope this helps
Ryan
