Why?
Unless you have over 150,000 miles on the '99, there isn't really much
advantage to getting a 2002 or 2003 (last year made).
The newer ones have the 24v engine, but they also seem to have more problems
such as the transmission and ignition. They also have 16inch wheels and tires,
which has some advantages but currently there are fewer tires available.

I have a '93 and an '03.
Advantages of '03
201 HP vs 109 HP
Quieter
Better climate control
OBD II diagnostics plus are much better
16" wheels
Similar gas mileage
Recommended service intervals (eg spark plugs and air filter) is 40K
vs 25K (or is it 30K?)
Disc brakes on rear vs drum
ABS standard (opt on 93)
ESP
Air bags standard

Disadvantages of '03
Only available with automatic transmission

I'm sure there are other differences, but that is what comes to mind.
It is a pretty significant upgrade in my opinion.
