hey bud i was in your position a few weeks ago i had my heart set on a blue s15 GT spec . had 43,000 ks asking price was 39,000, mind you i loved it when i saw it .. but then wondering around i saw some 2000 model 34's i was blown away with performance and comfort wise.. im pretty tall and even in the 34 like the s15 you wont have much room for people .. although 34 has more head room !, fuel economy on my 34 is aroun 450ish average wit zorst pod and front mount , now that ive got the 34 i wouldnt worry about going back to a s15.. much better car to drive and power differance is huge ! 144kw as opposed to 206kw
