Hello,
I would vote for the 04 and 05 as well. As stated by others pcv was fixed for 04. The 5 speed auto box was also fixed by 04. 02 and 03 can have some valve body/solenoid issues. The interior stuff does seem to suffer some in the 06 and up. The one thing I would pay attention to in the 04 and 05 if it is important to you is the sound system. Starting then some of the cars were equipped with a stripped down amplifier and speaker system. It was always difficult to explain to a customer that even though the radio appears the same as the 01 they traded in that some of the other components are not there and that is why it does not sound as good. Unfortunately the salesman didn't make that clear and I can't fix that under warranty. Good Luck, Bernie
