I've never owned a 3 door or a 2wd saph but I have driven a few of both types and found the saph a lot nicer to drive generally.

Never driven a 2wd or 3 door as hard as i would in my own car as they didnt belong to me so couldnt realy say how they reacted when you put your foot down.

As much as I love the look of the 3 door I think I would have to go for a 2wd saph as I prefer the saph's looks more. Just my opinion though.
