If you guys had to choose between an 03 and an 04, both stock, both 6MT... which would you choose, and why?

To me, for some reason, the 03 looks better but I have no idea why it does...it just does. how about yall?

get the 04 as the '03 was the first year of the car, and its the one with the most problems. about the appearance, i think they're exactly the same, so i don't know.

i agree with M.I.A. BlazinVQ

There is minimal diff between 03.5 and 04. Get both car inspected and select the one that is in better condition.

you're stupid. if the cars are the same EXACTLY the same with no differences whats the question really

How does it look better when the exterior is identical? No one in their right mind would choose an older car when the two are otherwise the same.

Your name gives us your reason why you do. Why do we have these kind of posts on here?

I'd say get the newest car you can afford.

First model year always has the most issues.

pretty much the exact same car...if you can save a little more and go for the 05/06 so you can get the available rev up motor and nicer interior!

2004.

an 03 and easly be in better shape than an 04, so you can't just assume that the 04 is better. There are absolutly no differences in the two unless you get the early 03, it does not have the tire pressure sensor.

I say if you like the 03 better, get it.

05...REVup engine, new stereo deck with less problems...the newer the better!

04 FTMW. I see and hear about more oil consumption and tranny problems in the 05+ than I do with th 03-04.

Now that you mention it, I don't remember reading any info on the early 03-04 Gs having oil consumption problems.
