Glass rear screen, cd player with tweeters in the doors, softened the handling up a little bit so not quite as "pointy". A few cosmetic changes around the lights and they moved the light washer switch to a more sensible place.

I've tried both and preferred the 02, but there are people on here with the opposite opinion. Drive them both then make your decision

The biggest differences on the 2002 model are:

1. Upgraded suspension geometry, handles better in the wet and is generally less skittish
2. CD player (pre-2002 radio only), better speakers
3. Glass rear window
4. Different wheels (I think)
5. Chrome trim on rear lights (bling-bling!)
