On the '02 you'll see more DCx cost cuttings. 01 had silver interior door handles where the 02 just had regular grey plastic handles. '01 had racoon headlamps (has a black ring around the edge of the headlamp) whereas the '02 had the all chrome headlamps. '01 you might have a center 3rd headrest on the rear seat and depending on when the '01 was made you could also have the trunk dressup kit which is a nice piece of carpet that covers the underside of the trunk lid.

Sounds like '01 is the way to go then. thanks for the info

there's a few debates about this on neons.org
supposedly the '02 ECU is a little better, but the '01 cam is more aggressive. Also there's a lot of '02s throwing CELs with a UDP

Other than that, I think it's mostly cosmetic, as previosly mentioned.
