Yes, the 99 is a bit rougher than the 2002. They changed the suspension in 2000 for a better ride. Now I've never minded the ride of the 99......kind of reminds you of more of that hot rod ride. However, you can change some of the suspension parts to smooth out the ride of the earlier cars. My husband has the parts for my 99, but has not gotten around to changing them yet. I drive both of my cats. Tire pressure helps somewhat also.

If you read the story and the info that I linked you too, the 2000 and after have a few more comfort features. I've gotten used to the new mirror features in my 02 and find that I miss them when driving the 99. Doesn't stop me from driving it though.

I find no quality differences in mine. I've not had any major problems with either one. I guess if it was me, I'd get the one that had the upgraded changes, as long as it is a color that I like. If the 99 is a color you prefer over the other one, get that! You'll be happy with either one.

CyPunk, I would say that the color and the mileage along with the warranty would be the biggest difference that you should worry about. Price difference might be a biggie in the decision making process, too.

You'll find that everyone here has a different opinion about the cars so you need to make a judgment as to what will make you the happiest and what you feel is the best car for you.
