The 2002 model has a lot of interior improvements (glovebox, non-shiny buttons, LED orientation lights, cup-holders and more). There should be a lot of posts about this on this forum

Main things I noticed when I was shopping for my "previously owned" car (someone feel free to correct me if I'm wrong):
2002 advantages - glovebox and cup holders (vs. none in all 2001 models); may still have some warranty left; hollow spoke wheels
"Early" 2001 disadvantages: front bumperettes; solid spoke wheels
Can't go wrong with either year though. Better deals on 2001's too.

I guess the 996tt can be different things to different people.

The really early 2001's had solid spoke wheels and front bumperettes. However most will have the hollow spoke wheels and the smooth bumper. The 02's got glove compartments and cup holders. The shape of the air conditioning vents is slightly different to accomodate the cupholders. My wife's 03 C4S has the cupholders and I wouldn't say it's the best implementation of them I've seen. A little high in the car and prone to break and jamb in my experience. But I can't say I've ever missed either item in my '01......
