Used 04 STI or New 05 STI?

I've been thinking about trading in my 02 4EAT WRX for either an used 04 or new 05 STI.

What are the differences between them and what are the Pro's and Con's.

Thanks,

Jon

I'd go with an '05. They made revisions to the steering and suspension, the interior is better, the stereo is standard, the wheels are 8" (7.5" on the '04), rear fender is changed. Basically, there are enough changes on the '05 to have a new chassis designation.

On top of the incremental improvements in the 05, I'd have issues buying a used STi to begin with. WRXs and STis aren't exactly only-driven-on-sundays-by-old-ladies type cars.
