I bought a 99 for a second car and hated it compared to my 02 SE. The engine is definitely different, as in the same basically as the 900's of past. Most 99s have a hodgepodge of electronic systems too, new and old.
Heres another thing I immediately noticed, and you can look this up on fueleconomy.gov to verify- the pre 01 cars get far worse mpg than the 01/02 models for some reason.
Hold out for an 02. It really is the best. Get the SE with the HO engine. It has WAAAAY more power AND better mpg than the older ones and the 900 turbos too. Having had all three I can guarantee you'll be the most happy with the later model. You can find them for around 5k all over now and I wouldn't blink at one with 100k miles or more if you can get records.
