If I could keep only one car, it'd be the 2002. Hands-down my favorite car, and built like a bank vault. I'll have someone out, have them close their eyes and take her to 110~ish.
They can't (1) tell how fast we're going and (2) believe that a 35 year old car is that smooth.
If you want an '02 to trundle around in, and you've got a perfect bodied specimen, OK, get the auto.
