Differences in Accord Coupe, 1998 - 2002 ?

I"m looking into buying an EX Accord Coupe and I wanted to know if there was any difference between the 98 - 02 years?
Any minor appearance (exterior or interior) or mechanical changes?
Is any one year more reliable than another?

The 02's look better than 98-01 but I can't tell if it's because of some side skirts and front and rear lips or maybe it's because of the different rims? Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

01-02 are same exterior apperance wise.
98-00 had different front bumper covers thats for sure. also inside changed from 98-00 to 01-02.

if you want oem kit go with 98-00, if you want your oem foglights to look hot, get 01-02.

what eveyone said already and...

98 had non-folding mirrors, 99+ had folding mirrors.

the 01-02 interior changes were very subtle.

mechanically, they are all pretty much the same.
