nc
I've test driven a base model NC before and they handle pretty much the same as an NA but with moar power, and wayy more space. The one thing I didn't like was the handbrake handle kept hitting my leg but I'm 6' 4" so idk. I recommend spending a tiny bit more and getting a special edition or RS model or something so you can tell people you have an RS haha . Hope this helps.
Don’t confuse fame with success. Madonna is one; Helen Keller is the other.

get the 2 liter model which has a better spec.
also make sure you replace the radiator water overflow bottle asap as they have a tendency to crack and you lose the pressure out of the cooling system and then overheat the engine.
the '05-'06 models will be coming up for a soft top replacement very soon too so factor that into purchase price.

Pity she doesn't want a manual NC - mine is for sale!!!
There are quite a few differences...between models - the NZ new ones are top spec esp the leather seat model like mine. Many imports have 16inch wheels, no spot lights etc.
The NC is a great car and plenty 'involving'!

I had an nb rs with 6 speed manual and have sold and bought a nc tiptronic auto with paddle shifters on the steering wheel. absolutely love it nicer ride and more room as it is a bigger cockpit. I too had a problem with my left leg and needed auto. all the nc rs models have 6 speed manuals so you will have to settle for a basic model for auto. I love the paddle shift but not many around
