ROFL! Nah, I got an 03.. and it is the best car ever or what... Found a problem today though.. you can't fit a 12" dual sub box in the trunk.

You'll love the G though, lot of people start driving aggressively around you too. You'll also start to feel that everyone on the road hates you.. Every 350z/ G35 coupe i've driven next to has tried to beef me LOL.

I'd get that 05 if I were you.. better interior and plus you've got warranty if any of that oil crap happens. 6 year/70K mi powertrain warranty is good!

Thanks man. I think it's a no brainer. I've gotten over driving aggressive on the roads, I just want to be able to ride in a bit of luxury while having the option to be aggressive if needed

Should be picking up that '05 on Saturday.

It should be locked, I'm having the check from Capital One mailed tomorrow, the dude just posted the car yesterday. I told him I'll be there Saturday to pick it up.

That '03 is overpriced and '03s have too many problems - Get the '04 or '05

Oh '05 has 298 crankshaft HP vs 280 in the '04 due to the RevUp engine. However, RevUp has also been implicated in oil consumption issues that weren't present before. I think the '04 has more torque, however, and some people seem to think the '05's are slower than the '04s. How/why?
+1 on this ^....excellent summary BlueD

....and a another MAJOR styling difference is that the 03 & 04 had IP with graphite interior. +05 that is not an option.

I recommend the 04 6MT highly!

why does every one say that 05+ 6MT's burn oil... not all of them do... i have an 05 37K+ miles and no problems

FYI there have been a few 03-04 6MT's/5AT's that have had the oil consumption issue

2005 here since new only 6800 miles on mine, really a great car, the clutch on the 2004 is not as good in my opinion, 2005 its much smoother and easier to drive.

I don't know why but i always thought 05's were significantly faster than 04's but just yesterday on my way back from dropping off my drunk *** friends this 05 pull up next to me on the highway and he starts hitting it and slowing down.. so i'm like what the hell the roads are empty let's see what the 04 can do. so he hits hit and i shift through 3rd and by 4th he's behind me.. i was thinking maybe i took off to early so he pulls next to me again and same thing happens by the end of 3rd / beginning of 4th he's at least a car and half a behind me.. here all this time i was scared of 05's, so i put the windows down and give him a thumbs up and he speeds off..
