My friend is asking me whether he should get used 03 or a brand new 04... I couldn't really answer him because I have a 04 and don't know how much better or nonetheless, same it is compared to 03. Can anyone help? Thanks.

 

The only difference is the tire pressure monitor guageavailible in the 04.
I heard that the 05 is getting new rims

 

So even the 03s don't have the "teething" problems that the 1st year cars often have?

 

sure they do, check the TSB forum for the complete list... but from what i have heard, the TSB's were not applied to the 04's so they have many/most of the same issues as the 03s.

03 6MT coupe, red/willow, premium, aero, splash guards, alum pedals, clear corners, 15% tint

 

I think you get tire pressure gauge added to the NAV..
