I've never owened a new age so can't coment really
All I can say is the classic is more Raw from my experience of owning one for 9 years, and driving a few new age scoobs.
I love the classic, even more now I have a 3 door, but a sign of getting old I guess is that I would have a new age if it was an every day car.

Have Driven Worzels a bit, it's comfy, not too bloomin noisy, and goes like Stink , So ticks all boxes for me .
