I have had both and like them both for different reasons!

The classic IMHO feels more hardcore than a newage, but don't think that the newage is a slouch by any stretch. From 0-80 for instance, you know you have just done that in a classic, it rips your face off, in the newage it does it far more smoothly, a much more refined power delivery, you get there every bit as quick but it doesn't feel like it for some strange reason.

Without any fettling, the classic is better handling than the newage, the much talked about under steer is a bastard in the newage, but that is remedied with little expense.

The main difference (which is shown in the handling) is the weight difference, the newage feels like a barge in comparison, maybe that's a bit overboard, but it feels heavier and drives like it.

Drivability everyday, the newage wins hands down, with my back problems I would really struggle to live full time with a classic. So IMHO the newage wins this part hands down.

So which ones best? I would have to say its the classage or did I mean Newic.

They are both great cars, it's happy days whatever you get.......
