Our 98 has beautiful upholstered panels all over the interior, this one has very plain looking solid color vinyl all over. Tomorrow evening I'm going to look at a 2003. This one is loaded including leather seats, heated front seats and second row captains chairs. Also 15,000 less miles than the 2005 and for even less money. Did GM resolve many of the issues my 98 has by the time the 2003 models came out?

Showing the model years were '97-'05, and can't speak on any
specific issue, yet my logic is that product life-cycle falls into three sub-ages of models... early-age is getting the kinks out, middle years is the sweet spot, then late-years is when they decontent to save money. So I'm always leery of first-year (
still working out the bugs), and last-year
(decontented to death). I'd be onboard with an '03 lower-milage more-options then an '05 higher milage fewer-options. And with accelerated depreciation of all vehicles, that two-year difference should save some money?
Yet, this entire logic might be obviated by my '00 Silhouette (
'97-'04). End of the early-years, or start of the middle-years?
