Re: 99-00 vs. 01-02
99 for me. i like the lower front grill on my car. the 01/02's look weird like that. like bennett said, it doesn't flow.

Mines a '99 and it turns on when it wants and stays off when it wants. all my brakes are new. although i dont have the pads with the wires (waste of money)

That would be because the 01s don't have a brake pad light.

Re: 99-00 vs. 01-02
The 99's - especially the early ones - were very individualistic. Each one came off the line with it's own personality. You can't find a later model that had power seats without leather, and a whole bunch of other quirky ones that people on here have.

The booby lights were more distinctive.

All the overhead warning lights freaked people out when they got in my car. And the thing I miss the most is the "exterior bulb failure" indicator!

Autumn orange...that's the color that looked like the color of calf poo.
