Removing content from the vehicles.

Thinner sun shades.

No bezel around the driver's trunk release.

Less detailed gauges.

Lack of underhood light.

Discontinuing the front fender braces.

Removing seperate clock and adding clock to radio, but leaving a lousy looking "Contour" plack where it had been.

10 way power seat replaced with a 6 way power seat.

And the list goes on and on.

On the other side, the E1 got different (better?) wheels and revised valving in the front struts.

99 got 5 more hp.

The 98 E0 is better contented, but it is also the oldest at this point. It is about a toss up between a newer, lower milage car or a more fully contented older one.
