2005 vs 2006? 2006 worth it?

Is there much difference between a 06 coupe and a 05 coupe? is it worth it to buy a 06 instead of a 06?

There's been a lot of discussion about the difference between the 06 and the 05 on these boards. You can search to find this. But as far as i know the differences are basically: 06 has projector headlights, and different taillights, a different front bumper, bluetooth and a bunch of other small upgrades. I opted for the 05 instead of an 06 because I couldnt justify the $4k-$5k difference.

Years ago, like when I bought my car, it was worth it. At this point, they're both four and five year old cars, can't see how it would make any difference at all. The upgrades would be worth it if there's not a big price difference. You should probably be more concerned about which one has the highest mileage. People rag the s#!t out of this cars, they really drive them hard.

bluetooth not a big deal 'cause the 06 bluetooth sucks ***.

Projector headlights are a big deal as is the extra year of warranty.

05 06 prices are not that far apart so unless the mileage on the 05 is significantly lower the 06 is the better choice

06, I have a 05 and had to buy 06 headlights too. So to sum it up go 06 if the price is right.

06 Benefits
1) projector headlights
2) better spoiler.....instead of the ironing board i got
3) IMO the tail lights are better
4) Bluetooth
5) lastly, the front bumper cover...

If I had to do it again...06 FTW

+1

This is personal opinion, but I prefer the older spoiler over the conservative one.

But most of the differences are easily changeable.

It's the interior change between the 04 to 05 that's more difficult

Well if your gonna keep your car stock just get an 06 6mt and call it a day. You get 06 projectors, 06 sport bumper, 06 sport skirts, 06 rear lights, and better warrantee. But if your gonna mod your car getting a 05 might be a better deal. Mod all you want!

The data system spoiler looks sexy as hell for some odd reason.
