A lot of things changed in '04 (TPMS, different wiring harnesses, etc.), and even more changed in '04.5 (wideband O2 sensor, for example)
Those of you who have 2003s without problems likely have '03.5 coupes. Either way consider yourself lucky not to have had any problems.
There are annoying problems with every year G that still haven't been ironed out (CD changer being one). However, there should be lower odds of having problems (sunroof motor, window regulator, creaks, rattles, CD player failure, electrical problems) the newer the model.

'05 doesn't have projectors, bluetooth sport bumper and sides with sport package, etc.
Your first decision should be AT or MT.
If you're getting AT - then without a doubt the newer the better.
With MT, I'd say '04 or '06-'07. '04 Will have Brembos and 10 more lb-ft of torque. However, it will have 18 less HP, older headlights, older interior, older taillights, 19's weren't offered with the sport package, and it will have less warranty remaining.
Warranties are 4 yrs/60,000 miles bumper-to-bumper, and 6 years/70,000 miles powertrain.

what do u mean : bluetooth sport bumper and sides with sport package, etc.
and what years have 19s and what is the sport package?
why did u skip MT for '05?
What is your budget? I just bought an 07 5AT, 15k on it with Nav, Sport, Aero, Prem for $24,700...took 2 weeks of looking on Ebay, Autotrader, Cars.com, lots of reading and phone calls and in the end I went with this car as it had every option I wanted and has 3 years of warranty and 45k of warranty left on it.
