HEY GUYS,

STUPID BUT QUICK QUESTION. THINKNING OF BUYING A 06-07 EURO THOUGH BESIDES THE FRONT END BEING DIFFERENT FORM THE 05'S AND EARILIER.... IS THERE ANY SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE YEAR MODELS eg. ENGINE SPECS/PARTS OR ANY PROBLEMS SORTED OUT COS IF THERE IS NO GREAT DIFFERENCE I MIGHT JUST GET A 04 LUXURY COS ITS HEAPS CHEAPER.

CHEERS..

only difference is outside looks, internal trim is metal finish instead of woodgrain looking. and also theres a trip computer too i think with like fuel consumption etc. ive got an 05 lux, fricken love it!

The 06-08 is nicer with the trip computer and nicer trim. It also has a full sized spare wheel.

i have 05 Lux and it comes with full size spare too
difference from 03-04 on the lux u get lower profile 17 inch wheels, slightly more sport tuned suspension, back lit steering wheel buttons...
05-06+ upgrade
updated rear bumper design, new headlights, front bumper, grill, new gear knob, metallic facia instead of silly grey wood one, also the beige interiors get light wood trim looks lovely, trip computer and a different steering with additional trip buttons!

Don't forget auto dim rear view mirror on MY06 Lux onwards. OEM Body kits are different too if the car is fitted with it.

Some exterior colours like the burgundy were only available on the earlier cars.

I just bought 07 Tourer. I think 06-07 front grill looks better.
But I'd like to have 04-05 gear knob. :)
