I am pretty sure there are some more differences to the euro and the us but here are the ones i can remember..

The us has a higher suspension setup/the euro is lower

Also the us has those unsightly black bumpers next to the license plate in the front of the car..

I can remember the rest but im sure there is some other stuff.

all the best
adam

oh the things listed above can easily modified for very little money over in the us if you are thinking if getting a euro car.

Anything major??

Thanks Adam for the imput. I thought that perhaps there were some engine restictions on the US version.

I am planning on purchasing one for use in Europe and I wanted to know wich of the 2 would be a better find.

Adam,
I think you will be relieved to know that the US model no longer has those little black bumpers up front. They were so ugly.
