Hi im in the market for a 3rd Gen 7 and im wondering what the best year to get is? i mean do some have better charactices to them of some sort? also whats the difference between a R1 and tourning edition and which one would be better to get?



Sorry im new to FD's as you guys call them... previously owned a DSM

 

'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.

 

they arent that different. i prefer 93 cause it doesnt have the passenger airbag, and i like the base/ r1's cause they dont have a sunroof

95s are the latest and greatest but rare. I think they are heavier though. (correct me please)

 

i would guess 95... a lot of the small problems arent there anymore

 

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

 

i got the car i wanted!

 

I got mine cuz when I test drove dat **** it shift mad quik yo!

 

They all rock. Seriously.

 

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...
