If pretty much all else were equal, condition of car, mileage difference in just the extra year on the 04, if I could afford the extra $2000 for the 05 I would do that.

All else equal. I wouldn't take a color I don't like in the 05 vs a nice color in the 04.

fml. the 05 sedan just got sold.. i called them and he said car is gone..




now im left with the 2004.

damn man . If your in no rush to get a car keep looking for a 05+ imo.

Good luck

Keep looking then.

Not like these cars are rare or anything??

In my opinion, I would have gone with the 04 and invested the extra 2000 i would have spent to get the 05 on some parts. 2000 can go a long way in the modification world. just my .02

im not rlly in a rush.. but also am.. i have a daily car i used when i used to own my honda before that went bye bye.


its true that 2000 can be a good invesntment on parts.
like wheels or sunp. for the new car but i rlly liked the 05 body more haha.

get 05 because it makes more horse, the brakes are better, the rear end is bigger too which makes it have more whp and you should be able to get it for 13k though. Good luck!

or even better dude just if you want the 04 tell him you were wanting the 05 but you will take the 04 if you can get it for 11k... that'd be worth it imo

^
cool.. im try that tmw if i go to see/test drive the 04 one.

they drive the same....same hp and everything

I didnt notice a difference in braking when I test drove the 04 vs the 05

basically interior upgrades

I personally liked the small upgrades so chose an 05 when I was in the market for my sedan. Since you're in Houston, check out our regional section (Strictly G's)We have a meet soon so feel free to come out and meet some of the locals.

my dealer had an 04 and an 06, both 6MT, 04 was 13995, 67k, the 06 was 19995 with 27k. 04 had a black interior, tints and more features(bose, dual zone climate control etc). i figured for the 6k i saved i could get brembos and a bunch of other stuff, althouth i extended the warranty which cut into the difference a bit..then again the 06 bumper to bumper warranty will be up in 7 months, and I will have 2 years. Also the rev up oil consumption issue concerned me a bit

seems like im not having no luck at all.

the 05 got sold yesterday
the 04 got sold in the morning.




now im like ok wat now..
im hopin to find an 05 now.. for some reason i like it more.. i feel more safer in it haha.
