Pros, lighter, stiffer, less potential for rattles and squeeks and everyone thinks they are 4cyl.
Cons, often dismissed as it is not a GT, everyone thinks they are 4cyl, standard interior not as nice as GT.
I prefer the look of the notch and quite like mine which has the GT interior (seats, carpet, pwr mirrors) and is otherwise optionless.
If I were shopping for one today, I would select the cleanest, straightest most original I could find be it LX notch, hatch or GT... body style would take a back seat.
