What I recall from when I was shopping:
** 2002 are only SE's with the HOT turbo, but are decontented from 2001 SE's (lack ACC, full leather, premium sound) unless equipped with the additional premium package.
** The headbolt spec changed sometime during 2001, so 2002's shouldn't require a headbolt retorque.
** EPA fuel economy rating for the 2002 SE is higher than for the 2001 SE. Why, I have no idea. A change in EPA testing protocol or favouable conditions during test seem more likely than a significant variation in the car between years, but who knows... Perhaps an ECU software change.
** Its been mentioned that the 2002 has higher spring rates than the 'sport suspension' on 2001 SE's.
** Different style of wheels, but same size (16") as the stock 2001 SE wheel. Cosmetic issue only.
