'94 of course
Many of the '93 problems were fixed.
Still a variety of options available before they were eliminated in '95.
R1 vs. Touring - Depends on what you want the car for.
I took a Touring (heavier but quieter) and added R1 (actually R2) parts (spoiler, lip, oil cooler) and Koni adjustable shocks.

c'mon guys, you are all posting the year of car you own the best!! LOL
truth is they all have problems, they all blow engines. Stock the r1 is better due to the stiffer suspention, and dual oil coolers. If you are going to mod the car then it does'nt matter anyway

color decided the year for me. no whites in 93. i just kept looking (for the better part of 2 years) until i got all the options i wanted. well except for black carpet. It's black now dammit! the only color i would trade mine for is the cym. i like a sun roof though...
