Four-cylinder S versions offer a 6-speed manual or 6-speed automatic transmission.

SE models had the same engines as the S version, but were better equipped.

The high-performance S version isn't worth the extra money.

When introduced in 1983, two model ranges were available: the "base" model and a lower-priced "S" version.

The quality of the "S" version is generally considered superior to earlier guns.

The second major factor is an addition, and it's worth even more than the horsepower hike, although you only get it on the S version: traction control.

Horsepower output - just 211 in the base model, 265 in the S version - is increased to 360.

The "S" version, with 265 horsepower, is the most desirable.

"S" versions with higher compression ratio had power increased by as much as twenty percent.

The "S" version of this model shared an engine with Wartburg 312.
