Se Vs Gxe
What are the differences between a 2000 SE and GXE. I have a black GXE 5-speed that I only paid 19k for brand new. Since then I have installed factory fog lights, spoiler, alpine cd player, and I just picked up a set of factory 17 inch rims. I know that the gauges are white face on the SE however, beyond that is there much of a difference.
Also I know that my GXE has a govenor at about 135 mph. I live in Italy and drive her regularly at 120+ for long trips up to Germany. Never have had a problem but gas milage sucks.

I notice that SE interior does look nicer. (the buttons, windshield wiper controllers and other tiny details). Isn't the SE stick speed limit set at 140 something??
I have a 2K GXE stick also and I ended up getting spoiler, fog lights, MP3 player (of course not all at the same time) and hopefully the rims later on.
Sometime I wonder why I didn't get the SE model in the beginning

You and me both. Like I said I only paid around 19k for it brand new. I tried to find a good deal on a 5-speed SE but they were either loaded or automatic. Oh well I really like the GXE and I will eventually get around to the suspension. From what some people say the SE is too stiff.
As far as the interior I did not notice a difference. Except of course I have a bunch of blank spots where buttons should be.

The main defferences in 2000 were in the suspension - the SE had stiffer springs, shocks and bushings, larger wheels, maybe stiffer front swaybar. The instruments were a different color, the upholstery was a little different, SE had rear spoiler and fog lights.

That's the way I think of it. I got the SE and I love the suspension.

Check www.car-stats.com for the 96 GXE and the SE, you will see that lighter is better if you have a speed concern

at 120mph, you'd expect gas mileage to be good?
