Godda agree with Bub on the fact that some of the used Stewies are better than others and that both models accelerate similarly enough that I'm not sharp enough to note the difference.
But there's a very distinct difference between the earlier and the later model handlin' characteristics n' I think that, along with choosin' the most solid car from what's available, that's probably the main item that should be considered when purchasin' a used Stewie.
If you never get the opportunity to drive both so you won't ever know the difference, pick either. If they're in good shape you almost can't go wrong.
But, if after buyin' one without havin' tried both, n' you later find out that the one you didn't buy suits your drivin' style better . . . would'a/should'a/could'a.
Be well.
