i would be interested in hearing the experiences any of you have had in driving and riding in the different generations of newells.

the 70's classic to the 80's classic to the new 2000 body style in 1990 to the change to the series 60 in 94/95 to ones with slides starting in 97.

then once the steerable tag entered in and the newer body styles after that.

for me, i have driven my 90 and my 2002. the differences are subtle but they are different. they both ride very nice. the 2002 seems to have a little better braking, though hard to tell. the steering wheel is smaller on the 2002 (i really like that big wheel on my 90). the 2002 is a little stronger off the line (if i was drag racing).

bottom line, they both ride and drive very nice, just different. though a little hard to describe how different.

definitely, the turning radius is ALOT worse on the 2002. no surprise given 45'8" compared to 38' no tag on the 90. so backing into my driveway is quite a bit easier with the 90.

i would be interested in your different experiences in driving different vintages.
