I have both. I got an 02 and a 95. I daily drive my 95 but for different reasons. My 02 has low miles, and where I live they are moving the town, so I basicly drive on a strip job. My 95 is beat up pretty good, so I just drive it. Its a car I don't have to worry about looks wise. My 95 just came off of a week of where I had to drive alot, and it handled it fine.
Now with that being said. If I had to make a choice between two cars to DD I would take a modular. Its a little better suited for traffic. Easier clutch, smoother power, will last forever if maintained, and its just newer.
