All of the above have the latest PCV system, latest DIC, and no-fail SID.
2005 is the last year before the Dame Edna styling, and the last year of the wonderful fully "natural" leather Aero interior across the board (of Aeros, that is). After that, sports seats or not, you needed to hit the optional $1500 natural leather. But 2005 was the only year for a 15,000 mile recommended oil change interval using Mobil 1. After that, it was 10,000 miles with Mobil 1. Before that, it was 10,000 miles with synthetic blend of questionable quality.
2006-2009 were all Dame Edna, with GM style radio and HVAC. On the plus side, they also had a mild suspension tweak, and every car had the full 260 hp motors and 17" wheels. They also have a/t with no dipstick, IIRC.
2009 - there were like 5 combis imported, so your chances are slim of getting the last of the breed.
Other than that, the one that's low mileage and well maintained is the best. Enjoy the search.
