thanks

 

02's and up have a glass rear window.

There's no real problems with any year S2k. Any issues which have arose have been dealt with through TSB's. Obviously the newer the better.

 

The glass window is in MY2002 and beyond. You can look through the TSB's to find the issues with the different years on the car on the home page of the site. Here are some of the highlights I can remember.

MY01

- minor silver trim added to taillights, etc.
- leather center console, leather covered shift knob

- tweater sidepods added to door
- front and rear springs and anti-roll bars softened
- mid-2002 improved oil jets used

MY04

- transmission gear ratios shortened 1-4, lengthed 5,6
- transmission synchros updated
- rear suspension softened, suspension retuned
