i am curious why the 04-05 models are more desireable. does it essentially have an sti engine? what's the difference between the 04-05 versus the 06+ engine?

Also, IIRC, the final drive ratio (4.444) was supposed to be different too. Higher final drive, easier climbing mountains and good for acceleration, but bad for MPG. 06+ got the 4.111 f/d ratio. apparently 1st gen xt's could handily beat the wrx's same year and many other sporty cars. great sleeper wagon and something i wish i had room for!
