I'd go for the 3-cyl, and toggle the AC off for freeway entrances and steep climbs if traffic was heavy, and I really wanted to keep up. The pre-95 ones are smaller and lighter, with the XFI option. If not rusty, their only drawback is interior noise, IMHO. I use a headset sound system to cut the noise and save big bucks on stereo gear and protection of same.
