should i buy 1g or 2g?

[mcavalear]

hello every one. my name is matt and i have decided to get rid of all my mustangs and mustang parts and get a dsm. my first car was a 91 gsx and i loved it, but 10 years ago i didnt know what i know now. i plan to daily drive this car and throw some small performance into it. im torn between the 1st and 2nd gens. ive been reading the forums and all the stories of cw. as far as quality of the stock parts, and the price and availability of performance parts which is better?

2g all the way they are way better looking 1gs look super old like a 70s car UGLY but they do run better....get what you think will work best for what you car wanting to do

wow you kidding me right?
I do not like the 2g's. Apart from being a DSM they get no respect from me
1G all the way they are much sexier, 6/4 bolt, run better and are alot cheaper and cheaper parts.

And lets face it-HOW MANY CHICKS HAVE YOU SEEN DRIVING AROUND IN A 1g?

I have always loved the 1GAs ever since I was a youngster. I love 1GAs so much, that I'm buying another. But I also love the 2GB Talons and wouldn't hesitate to buy one.

Agreeed! so many girls in 2g, I feel like its a girls car to some degree (My opinion lets not try to grill me )

It is the interior of the 1G that bothers me the most, I really hate that hump that it has at the instrument cluster, and the radio center console area just looks so 70s or 80s style, the exterior is decent though. The 2G styling and interior ergonomics are perfect in all aspects. Ive owned both. 2G all the way!!!

 

[agentorange313]

That's actually what I like most about it. Its cockpit style everything on the console is facing toward the driver. Complete control. The passenger is left with just the glove box.

What I love most about the 2g is the gsx sideskirt with the 2ga talon body.

haha.... so many opinions... really, it ultimately is up to you. There are drawbacks both ways, but i'd say that if you can, try and drive both, then make your decision..... Personal prefrence. But, to continue the trend, 1g ftw!!!!

 

[joe sobo]

i love the cockpit style of the 1g, but 2g the rest of the way. i would love to build a 2g with the full interior out of a 1g

 

[ZyklonBZombie]

just get whatever you like best. i have owned both 1gs and 2gs and i like 2gs a little bit better (the 99 eclipse gsx is my fav or the 98 talon tsi awd ...). but i do own a 91 gsx ....

actually there are a few here that drive n/t 1.8s ...

Got rid of a mustang to get a DSM? Haha your doin the same as me
Ive heard the better way to go about it is get a 2g with a 1g engine due to crank walk and all that....but i geuss it comes down to what style you want?

2g FTW

 

[habitatguy187]

Bottom line, 2Gs are nicer, period. And much more comfortable for a DD.


1Gs feel like you're driving a race car.


The rest is in the eye of the beholder.

 

[nicho919]

2G. 1Gs aren't as good looking, the interiors are crappier, and of course, there is more age in all of the components. Look for a GOOD clean rust free 2g though. They started skimping on rustproofing in the 2g.

 

[Dewayne Waldron]

Aren't as good looking my ass. 1g all the way

 

[jeff24680]

Well, I love a 1G. Lots of positives to having one. Better yet, I'd love to have a 1G engine in a 2G. Also on 1G's, you can get logging waay hella cheaper then a 2G.

Not true,

EvoScan(25$), Cable(50$).

Amazing Logger.

DO NOT TAKE THIS GUYS ADVICE ON "STYLE"...see sig.

 

[methdome666]

true the is for you what u want is what u want.......... i love both but i own a 2g just for the spyder...... got to love cruisin the beach with the top down.......

 

[jjgrizz73]

Beaches in Michigan must be pretty sweet huh?

2g>1g looks
1g>2g platform

it depends on what kind of car you want and what your goal is
