Re: OG 900 vs NG 900

I traded a 93 Classic 900 for a 98 NG900 (both Turbos, the 93 a 5spd, the 98
an A/T) about 3 years ago. The NG900 has several rational advantages over the
classic 900...it's quieter, rides better, body structure is more ridgid (less
squeeks/groans), is more stylish to the rest of the world, is quite a bit
cheaper to insure, and may be a bit more trouble-free on a day-to-day basis
(not sure long term yet). But it's got several disadvantages
also...visibility outward is poor, the hatchback area is not as usable, it
doesn't feel as roomy inside, the seats in the early versions (95's included
if I remember right) were definately second rate in comfort compared to the
classic 900. I've also found the driving 'feel' is not as enjoyable with the
NG900 as with the Classic 900...altho it's a subtle difference. But the
biggest difference is that the NG900 is just not 'SPECIAL' like the classic
900...in feel, features, and appearance...which, I suppose, is a subjective
opinion. I like my NG900 but greatly miss the Classic 900. Buy the 95 it's
it's a good but but keep your classic 900. Oh...we also have a 99 9-5...which
improves on the above advantages of the NG900 but drops a step lower on
driving pleasure.
