			I dunno why anyone would trade down for a 1st gen (even though it's a GSL-SE), unless they were feeling nostalgic?
 Rack & pinion versus recirculating ball steering
 IRS versus live rear axle
 
 Sure, the 1st gen is lighter, but the FC is just a better package overall.
 
 The FC 13B engines were basically bulletproof versus anything that came in a 1st gen.
 Mazda really worked out the kinks out of the 13B with the FC engines.
