Some L's will be Rev2's...some will be Rev3's...you can tell by the newer style rear break lights on the Rev3's...
Also the Rev3's have more power to the Rev2's...

Well the GT comes in various models...
GT-S Which is the turbo...
GT T-Bar which is the Non Turbo
Stay clear of the G-Limited models as some of them come with 125 BHP which is pants...

And when u say power hike...I presume you mean the increased BHP from 158BHP with the Rev2's to the 178BHP in the Rev3's...
Thats in the Non Turbo's

Well as long as they have FSH and have been well maintained the engines are good for 150,000+ miles...
Make sure the cambelt has been changed though at 65,000 miles as there expensive to be changed...

Errr the Rev2's dont look as nice IMO...the newer rev3 rear lights are nicer and everything is colour coded on the Rev3's...also have bigger brakes...more powerful engine...etc etc...and for all the reasons above...
If you can get the Rev3...
