3 doors are best although the shell feels a bit flexi compared to the saff but you just feel more special and agressive in a 3door. I went from saff to 3 door back to saff hated it and gone through 2 3 doors to find a nice one again.

Hope this helps

Cheers

I've not had a saph - went straight from an S2 to 3 door as I knew I'd throw money down the drain if I got a saph before what I really wanted.

3 door is a bit more special and certainly rarer. I personally love the looks over a taxi and they seem to hold their money better as well Get a good one mate and you won't look back I'm sure. They can be a bit twitchy though

best single mod you can do to the 3dr is change the front anti roll bar to a 2wd saff one

make straight line stablity better , i have moved the front castor an extra 20mm more forward than a normal 3dr

10mm more than a 2wd saff

I'm seriously considering it, but to be honest handling etc never crossed my mind. I'm just considering it because i've always wanted one.

We had both at the same time, and altho i love the look of the 3dr i just prefer the drive of the 4x4 saph cossie.

but theres not a lot in it if im honest... they are both great cars.
