Think about an '02 base too.

Nice nice car.... It's peppier than before. You don't notice the missing extra power unless you REALLY get on the gas. The handling is nearly as good as a 99-01 Aero too. Possibly better with the right wheels and tires but it's difficult to say.
Remember that the 02's got the old Aero suspension and the Aero suspension was bumped up as well that year. Also note that some of the suspension components (chassis too) were strengthened such that the feel and accuracy of the steering are better too.
My friend looked for an 02 base and could not fine one anywhere. Lot's of 00-01s though. He ended up buying an 00 or 01 base sedan with a stick and leather etc. He doesn't mind the softer suspension as he has a bumpy commute. Also... he doesn't mind the missing power as it's still faster than his A4 1.8t Quattro or Rav4. The Audi was replaced by the Saab by the way.
