being that i own a 97, 98, 99, and a 2000, id say that i like the 99 & 2000 the most, actually the 2000. Mainly cause the seats are a little more comfy in the 2000, arm rest/cup holders are better than pre 98, headlights brighter - and they they just feel better - dunno why - but they do.

I would definately try to find a 99 or a 2000 - you can still find 5spd's with a locker with a scooped hood if you like em, plus the little fog lights, painted bumpers/flares. 2000 was the last year for 5spds - search ebay constantly for them - they pop up every once and a while - thats where i got my 2000.
