my first S was an 03, and i was very happy with it. the rear glass window to me is just so much better than the plastic. now, where you got your numbers on the skid pad, not sure about that. i dont think honda really changed anything in the suspension from 00-03. the 04's had the big suspension change. you may be confused with 03/04.
actually they softened the suspension a little bit each year. an 00 rides quite a bit stiffer than any other year.

03, hands down

</bias>

Seriously, I doubt that the performance is noticeably any different and would just come down to car setup (alignment, tires, etc) and the driver. I'd recommend the 03 if for nothing else the glass window. Plastic window and you're much more likely to spend money replacing the top at some point.

on a side note, so there are no differences between the '02 & '03? I'm torned between either getting a '02 and '03.

Thanks

seems like the op has no idea what he/she's talking about. do some more research then ask a question.

but if i were to do it again i'd go with the newest one possible.=]

I would go with the 2003. I like the extra speakers and the glass rear window.

[QUOTE=9KEVERYDAY,Jan 25 2007, 01:39 PM]Reason I choose 2000, the skidpad numbers, and I have heard the car "felt" faster.

since it's not an AP1 vs AP2 decision, it's a no brainer

Get the 2003
