I like that new steering wheel...very nice. Rear fender looks a little odd with the add-on tupperware though.

I actually think the interior of the 05 is way classier.

Nice find - thx. I think I actually prefer the '04's steering wheel, and IMHO the cupholders are useless additions (although much improved over the design over the stereo)......as the driver I can't manage to drink anything in my STi w/o major risk of spillage. Huh.

The cup holders up front and the AC/heater controls are nice upgrade. The rear cup holders are good also but I never have rear passengers for more than a trip to lunch. They can keep everything else especially the POS stereo. I don't like the removal of the little tray that in front of the ash tray and lighter. It's a good place for a pen/sun glasses/stereo remote. Hopefully that trim around the door handle is a little easier to remove than the current design.

I prefer the deeper "high-G" cupholder in the '04. I don't care if it can handle a 32oz soda, but it keeps my bottle of water from bouncing around no matter how hard I'm driving. The '05 cupholders look like they'd dump the drink at the first hard turn.

Steering wheel is nicer as well as the shift knob and the DCCD control placements. What's up with the addition of the fender flares? Is there a wider wheel on the car now? Everything else i could care less.

New door cards and parking brake boot are nice changes, maybe the new blacked out headlights. Don't particularly care for any of the other changes, especially those gawdawful fender "flares".

eh... those front seat cup holders aren't going to hold a supersized coke from McD's. I like that they got rid of the one on the dash, but now the dash looks like a Celica or something. And the rear fender flare would be great.....on my old Tacoma pickup

i am wondering what that yaw sensor would do?

shouldn't it be useless w/o an Yaw Control?

will the car redistribute torque front and back because it's "pitching" too much ?

I like the door panels better than my 04. Everything else they could keep.
