I have a '97 GXE, and my friend has a '98 GXE. I noticed that his doors felt a little heavier. Do they have more sound deadening material? Also I noticed that his steering wheel and shifter were smoother, noise level is much lower, and clutch throw is a little longer. Now I am wondering if I should trade mine in for a 98.

 

maybe its bondo... bwn, it should be the same weight. check out edmunds.com or kbb.com i think they weigh the same..
