Default Should I Buy An 04 And What Colour?

Well, my trusty 99 JDM in Red has just done 63k trouble free miles and I'm thinking of buying a replacement....

Trouble is I don't think I'd feel the difference in a Red 04, although the interior is nicer it's a little too similar.

Any opinions or ideas on colours???

I went out for a test drive the other day. It was gonna be 6k to change cars and although I love the look of the new one, it just ain't worth the cash. It felt alot softer than me '02.You will really notice the difference. If it had the 2.2ltr then yeah I'd go fro it.

To be honest I have now been driving my 04 for 4 weeks and I can't tell much difference between this and my 02. The rear feels more composed on bumpy bends but that is about it.

trade it in for a lower mileage '01 or '02 if you don't mind not being able to see out of the back window to park

or

get another JDM, but this time import a Platium White with Red Interior

Get yourself a '99 silverstone.
The true original hardcore, not one of those watered down poof versions '04
