Test drove different cars back in 2002. S, non, FL…
Decided to want a FL only because of the rear glas window. Later on was not shure if the decision was right, because i like the lines of the PreFL better and it's much easier to modify the hifi system. The MOST bus system is just crap.
Decided to go for an S, because of the more torque in the low end. If you like to rev your engine, the non S rev up to 6.400 rpms whereas the S revs only up to 6.200 or 6.150 rpms. To me there is a clear difference in the engine character. If you like to buy an automatic maybe the difference is not as big as if you want a manual transmission. If you go for an automatic i would prefer an S, because of the more torque.
Also there are definitely differences in maintenance costs. S brakes and some other parts are more expensive.
In the end i would go for the car in best condition. If it's exactly what i would look for this would be a plus. But you should never forget that these cars are minimum 12 years old now. So i think the overall condition is important.
