Gen 2 = My gen2 I love because its more responsive than my Gen5, you can actually feel the road. I think it has better throttle response and you are also lower to the ground. For some reason I love the interrior, very simple yet effective and easy to customize. The rear end is beautifull, and the trunk is quite big for the car's size. Also that car is a survivor.
Gen 5 = My gen5 I love because its faster, bigger, and up to date. Although not as responsive as my Gen2, The Gen5 gives a good smooth ride on long trips. If equiped with Leather seats, navigation, etc..the Gen5 can be called a Luxury car. This gen i also like because there are more parts availible for upgrade, and its easier to take everything aprt and learn about the car. Audio installation is the easiest in this car, you canfit tons of wires down each side of the car under the trim. The TRUNK IS HUGE, you can fit like 8 subwoofers in it, or 4 bodies

.The car is comfortable too, much room on the inside. The thing i dont like about the car is if u floor it, the car takes a second to kick in and go, and the ride is sometimes too smooth, you cant feel any response from the road, throttle, or shifter. Its very boring if u are out joyriding.
Both cars I drive and love equally.
