I've been debating for a good while

I'm going to get a MANUAL EX COUPE....

Which year should I go with?!?

 

I'm looking for performance and reliability

And am aware of the 2004 Bumber adjustments, grill change and headlights

Which year?? I know i've come to the right place to find out!

 

Performance-wise they're both the exact same car, maybe some minor electrical modifications in the 2k4 since it's newer.

Reliability... they're both honda's.

They're both good choices, it just comes down to whether the cars you're looking at have all the options you want and the color you want.

 

ok, thanks...

anyone else have a suggestion?

Anyone around own a 2003 or 2004 EX Coupe Manual?

 

My sister has a 2003 Lx coupe, but i may as well be an EX, just need the power and sunroof. but other than that the car is great.
My father has a 2004 Special Ecition sedan, now i know they are not EX copues, but the Special Edition has all the features as well except the sunroof and power again, it is also a great car. but what it all comes down to is what do you like better, the front of the 2003, or 2004. and $$$.. those are your deciding factors

 

Cool, thanks alot for your informative reply...it really helps to hear from people on a first or i guess second hand basis....but yeah, i think i'm going to have to look at both of them in person to see which front i'm attracted to most. Looking at the websites don't seem to be enough!
What i've noticed is that consumer reports actually rate the 04 higher than the 03 and 05....just slightly though....what do y'all think of consumer reports??

 

I wouldn't put all my faith in a consumer report. I don't think they are completely accurate and biased.

 

Why not?

They do claim titles such as Expert, Independent, and Non-profit...Plus it was from an Annual Auto issue...

I have noticed on my online search that there are more 2004's available in general than 03's which would seem to be opposite of what would make sense.
