  I know of no fix for the speedometer. It is hard to read. The only plus is that 
with time you can more or less tell you speed from the angle of the needle. 
The rest is liveable, but could be better.
  If the 2001 & 2002 are priced about the same I would go with the 2002. It is 
newer, nice at resale time, and the engine has some minor but nice 
improvements.
