I have a 4 and have had a sc 2 and a sc 3.5.
To be honest if i had have the chance to put the sequential in that last one I would have never bought a 4. The 3.5 is such thrilling device and feels so sharp.
Downsides compared to the 4 are the comfort, allthough you shouldnt buy any atom for comfort, the pre 4 cars are pretty harsh. The setup on the 4 make it a more compliant car, you can go fast in more places (bad roads) and more easily.
You can pinpoint all the “upgrades” the 4 has compared to the 3.5 as bad things as well, you loose some of the involvement.
For me, being 40 now and have a sore back, I truly LOVE the 4. Less back pain and it makes me feel like such a good driver. I am MUCH faster on track as well.
Ideally I would have both, I might just buy my old car back to accompany my 4.
You cant go wrong, but the 4 is the better car if you either dont like self destruction or want to be the fastest with limited skills.
Last thing to say is that in terms if build quality, the 4 is a giant leap forward. For instance the hubs are a wonderful billet machined, shiny hollow part on the 4 and a black (i think mg part) lump on the 3.5. Lightyears different in a lot of places. So quality wise I can safely say, without [mention]AlanP[/mention] with the coolest car in the world saying differently, the 4 is the best car.
