Difference Between 01-03 models

Hello,

I'm going to be buying a used SLK (or a C43, undecided) as a daily driver in Feb.

What is the difference between the 01, 02 & 03 model years?

Do think a SLK320 or SLK230 would better suit a commuter car? I need to make up my mind, soon! Thanks, in advance

Search thru the posts from a while ago. I asked the same question a few months back and somebody posted a great link. It went through every model year of the R170 and explained what was added/changed each year. Unless somebody else remembers the thread and can post the link I suggest searching for it in here.
