Default Looking at 91-94 vs 95-97 any thoughts either way?

Ive found several very affordable 94-, and just a couple 95-97.

Wikipedia tells me brakes are a bit better in the 95-97, but in the early ones are they even "bad"?

Also, leg room in the back seat? Im ~6'2", is anyone going to be comfortable behind me driving for example? Say someone 5'8 or so?

If you need a 1st gen get a 93 or 94. There were a few upgrades that make them much nicer than the 90-92.

If you go with a 2nd gen get a later model like a 97. I think there were some problems with the ECU in the earlier ones. Witch was replaced under warranty. BUT if it wasn't replaced on yours then you're in for an expensive fix.

After owning a 91 and a 97 there is no comparison. I would buy nothing earlier than a 2nd gen.

And... search.
