Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

5 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Has anyone had the chance to compare these two cars yet. My 2002 car just came in but I am considering buying a leftover 2001 instead and saving about $8K-$10K. I don't think there is a significant difference in the looks department. I am also hearing about the DME problems popping up in the 2002 cars. Any input would be appreciated.

2002 changes: 315 hp Throatier Exhaust Reinforcement of the body for more rigidity Cup holder Is it worth 10K to 12K more. Well that depends on your bank book.

POST 3Original post

The thing that made me sit up and take notice was the stiffer chassie.

POST 4Original post

The 2002 has a MUCH better sounding exhaust! The power increase is evident, and the six speed feels more "rifle bolt" than previous. Wheels and exterior look better in person than what I had expected from magazine/internet pictures. The car felt better in the corners, with a little firmer ride. The 2002 coupe I drove had 18" wheels and standard suspension (no 030).
