I have had an FN2 before and this is much better.
I still like the FN2 in some ways, like the interior/dash is nice and feels good as a hot hatch but you see so many around.
The FD2 is in a different world to me. The handling is where it shines and the look is amazing, the road presence is bloody great. It is also more powerful and love looking at the spoiler out the back
Mine has Koni shocks on the rear and standard on the front and to me it is fine, a harsh ride wouldn't bother me anyway but this isn't harsh.
Hope this helps
