not really, the 06's have better batteries and starters, and the ecu's been updated a couple of times, but this is all stuff thats been done to the rest of em under warranty.

I am not quite sure why but Car and Driver rated the 2005 higher then the 2004 in almost all areas

Only real difference is in the AT models. The newer 2006 and beyond have a 6 speed AT. Which used to be 4 spd. Now it has 6 ports just like the MT.

wheels and bumpers are all the same, so far theres no body differences, except sunroof and non.



shinka's fully loaded, and then its got this tan suedey leather, slightly retuned suspension, foam filled subframes, and the wheels and taillights are a different shade of grey.
