After reading numerous threads I believe it is safer to move up from my 00 to an 02 SE. I found an 02 SE fully loaded (navi included, leather, six speed). I am picking it up next week. What improvements can I expect over the 00? Is the Navigation system reliable? Thanks in advance.

 

Improvements are power, and features and the extra gear. Same chasis and suspension.

 

Oh Man lots including; acceleration,power/torque (all ranges), better seat design, better shift design the whole area,Definately the Trip Computer, the memory seats, HID's, more aggressive front bumper/Grille,side sills (which make it look more sporty), nicer steering wheel,sunroof controls (throw it into the position you want and it finds it automatically),6 dish in dash CD some have issues with it although, auto front windows on both sides/front,heated steering wheel and did I say a very noticeable increase in power especially if you were to get an auto and compare it to a 01 auto (stock), I also heard the Nav is pretty reliable although being CD based pretty good! I still love the 00/01's as well.

 

Power. This is what got me sold on a 02.
