Here's the difference between the models, with pictures:

The 06 with automatic will most likely be less problematic.

is it just me or is an 06 with 68k for 17.2k a little expensive? On another note l'd go with the 06...you do run the risk of having the oil consumption problem but that would be just a simple check up from a mechanic and that's that.

Remember not to rush this process of buying a G coupe. I am so anxious to get one and I have the money to get it but i havent found THE ONE yet. Its worth the wait to find the one YOU KNOW you have to get because its absolutely perfect by your standards. So if you feel this way about these coupes your asking us about then by all means go for it...otherwise I suggest you keep looking...just my $0.02.

04' 6MT - you will have a lot more fun driving a 6MT!!! I barely drive my M cuz i can't get enough of the G!

I would usually choose anything with a manual over an automatic but the '06 is such a big improvement over the '05 that the '06 is the way to go. Why not shop a little longer and find a clean '06 with the 6MT?

wait for a better 06-07 to pop up

^^^ Agreed... Get into a 06 or 07 6mt if you find one.
