definitly get a GT, it has more HP, 4 wheel disk brakes, and I think sunroof's are standard.
Other then that there are several options. There is a coupe, hatchback or convertible. On top of that the front bumper on 96+ models have a different style and include fog lights on the GT trim. And get a manual... |

You'd find one with about the same miles in the states for $5000USD easy. That's about $6250CAD. But it's a lot of hassle to import one from the states so it's your call. I paid $12400CDN last year for my 94GTS with 115k. I knew I was paying a lot more than the car is worth (the bank only values my car as $4000 against the loan). |

Get the hatchback! It's definitely the best looking of the three types, and from what I can tell, the easiest one to find body kits and other extras for.

I think a hatch w/no wing looks better than the rest... but if you want a spoiler definitly go coupe.

yeh... sight david's car or your car and of course a coupe looks good... but a stock hatch vs a stock coupe... hatch all the way. Hell, modded hatch vs modded coupe = hatch most of the time also. And the coupe is a mutt car, where as the hatch is the real thing
