Ok so if someone here can't ask a question incase an arguement is caused this thread may aswell be closed.

UBERANDREMAN Asked a valid question why not answer him and just deal with it if people don't like the question/answer.

UBERANDREMAN: In my opinion the,

R53 has a slightly more enjoyable drive (Depending on what type of ride you like) due to the constant power of the SUPERCHARGER which makes it feel like a SUPER GO-CART and rugged suspension making you feel all aspects of its handling, but can get tedious after a while due to the tough suspention and rough gear changes.

R56 is a more refined (Depending on what type of ride you like) due to its softer suspension and "Lag-less" turbo making fast road driving enjoyable and can be driven every day with not much effort at-all.

It depends if you want a real exhilerating ride if so go with the R53 if you want something not far off but a little more "refined" with all new technology go with the R56.

What you also have to consider is that the R53 in a few years will be worth only 10,000 -13,000 due to being the old model.

Wheras.......... the R56 will be not far off its original price.

Burn me if you wish but thats more or less the differences that most people take in to consideration.
