You sound like a 4 cylinder guy, but just in case you ever are offered a 6, don't do it.
The pixel problems IMO continues on 2004s (both of my '04s have it).
You will have to pay extra for a wagon so don't buy one unless you need one (tney're heavier, don't handle as well, as get poorer gas mileage)
I like the manual for '01 and older Aeros, and like the Aisin 5 speed automatic for the newer cars. In '04, both the Arc and Aero get a nice, high pressure turbo 4 - this is the motor you want.
IMO the biggest downside of the '06 is the fuel filter is in the pump, and you can't easily change the filter as a prophylatic. And the pale parchment leather does not last.
