I was in a similar situation. Toss up between a 2001 and 2002. The 5 speed tranny, increase HP, shorter stopping distance, the use of regular unleaded gas. The '01 according to Honda was designed to run on premium fuel. Yes you can use regular, but at what cost to your motor? The tranny problem in '02 was listed as a recall. Honda will repair for free. I went with the '02. It had 37K and I paid $16500. Definitely take the Honda Care extended warranty. It goes to 100K and covers for 7 years from the date of the first registration. Paid $1460. Bumper to bumper. Good Luck
