IMO they are a little better but my 95 is great no problems at all.
I had originally wanted a 96 or 97 but mine only came in 95 and it was a steal.

There was some other ones but not that bad
There was a micro switch recall on the shifter assembly.
There is also problems at times with the horn staying on but someone cam up with like a $5.00 fix for that.
Headliner tend to sag.

Just look them over really good.

I have Vadis thats about it. The 96 one is pretty much the same as the 96. It should have everything in there already.

I would have used Vadis alot cheaper and better IMO.

I just had to replace the entire sunroof assembly in the yellow car.

Vida or Vadis?
The Vadis is alot easier than Vida.

But then again I have been using Vadis about 10 or so years already.
