I test drove a 2004 and a 2005. Both had 6 speeds (wow!). First gear is not bad with the long throw clutch and 2nd and 3nd are crisp. Corners like it glued to the road. Suspension was a bit stiff. The dealer says the only differnce is that the 2004 would be a bit less because the 2005's have arrived. Is that true? - No differnce in the car at all? Oh yeah-by the way-both times during the test drives, I was followed by a police cruiser.maybe it was the "Blaze Red" color! :lol:

 

i dont think so, except that in 2004, all the XFires were fully loaded the equivalent of the 2005 Limited. In 2005 there will be the Lite verion as well.,

 

The 2004 is exactly what they are call the 2005 Limited. I think that you can get a nav system option in 05 too.

 

The Blaze Red is awesome

 

one minor exterior change...the "crossfire" badge has been raised about an inch on the rear hatch for 05'...imo...to make place for the soon to come srt 6 badge beneath.
