Default What year S to go for?

Hi guys. Planning on getting a new S soon.
What year between 04-07 is best if any? I can't decide whether to spend £7000 or £10000.
If I can get a good one for £7000!?

I bought an '04 and I'm very happy with it. If I thought about it a little more, I may have gone for an '06+ because the Hondata FlashPro seems interesting.

Besides price the big things are do you was Traction control or not and few other minor things. Also brive by wire or not. my i have an 06' and i love it. i also owned an 03'. Having the reassurance of traction control is always nice, just in case it ever may whip out it saves you if not expected.

Yeah. Traction control is only like 06 onwards which makes it hard. I think I'd be turning it off all the time? I dunno. Also, what's drive by wire?

drive by wire/traction/stability control go for 06+
9k rev go for 03 or less
06+ model minus electronic assists, 04-05
better s2000, get a cr and change the factory wheels
