Back in the day I had wished I'd gotten the '99 SE-L, had the key with the chip in it, but obviously before I got a new car in Dec., I was glad I didn't have the '99. It's trouble imho. My friend's wife had the coil packs replaced twice to the tune of $xxx.xx. What a joke, on a 8 yr. old car. My 98 never had any of that luckily.....
