or whatever…opinions from both sides will work too… i was on here last winter…def. wanting a 240 but decided it was an impractical choice at the time… the bug is back now however(wanna save for an sr powered one) (i drive a rotten 1990 honda civic…can you blame me?)
and id just like an opinion on which car gives people more enjoyment…as far as ride, response, mod worthy goodness… etc…
essentially if any of you good men were in the market for another 240…which one would you sway more to and why?
much thanks!!

he’s right^
I’m putting together an S13 for winter and an S14 for summer.
the S14 is a little longer/wider, so it seems to hug the road a little better.
Ergonomically the S14 hands down, interior, the S14 is more asthetically pleasing in my opinion,
they are both easy to mod, and finding mods is easy,
Since they are old cars, only not rotten ones will hold any value, so winter is a curse.
It a lot of personal preference involved, S14 parts are a little more expensive because there are less of them/harder to find.

i would personally love to get an s13 but finding one in good shape is now next to impossible… im also bloody tired of dealing with rust 24/7… which moreso leans me to an s14… i think it also has to do with how much $$$ ill have when im ready… id love to pick up a s13 or s14 alrdy motor swapped… which means either i pick up a well taken care of s13 or buy a N/A s14 and work my way up slowly…god decisions decision

Get an S14 more bang for the buck. Alot of s13’s are rust buckets, or just plain over priced for a stock piece of shit.

Well acctually they have almost identical engines and S14 are usualy more expensive so S13’s are more bang for the buck.
But If my S13 were written off tomorrow I’d buy an S14 instead. For no reason other than updated styling.

^^ S13’s are cheap for a reason. They need repairs that cost a fortune.

besides the notorious fact that s13s are overpriced rotting wood… given if both s13 n s14 were brand new off the lot… id choose a s13 hatch still.

Geez i dunno what s13 you guys are buying but they dont all have rust and shit…wow…maybe look for better cars when you buy them …s13 is a great car to buy even if it is a bit older.
