I don't know much about the drivetrain, so I'll defer to the judgement of
others. And although older parts might be built better, they are older parts.
My metal bumper is starting to rust and will need touching up in a year or so.
Another thing you might do is compare the interiors of the older vs newer ones
and see if you have a strong prefference. The difference is not subtle. The
older ones have a more boxy, truck-like look, the newer ones are more rounded,
like modern cars. With the newer ones, they took away the swing open vent
windows but noticably improved many of the minor controls...

And a good thing they did. Those vent windows leak on the front corner.
I think there was a service bulletin on it.
