help between 06 & 07
I am choosing between a used 07 with 3000 miles and a new 06. Does anybody know if they made any changes between 06 & 07 to tweak any problems for example paddle shifters or anything else ? thanks for your help

07's built after August 2006 have the improved roof which won't delaminate. 07's have a longer 5 yr/100K warrenty. Other then that it's the same car. If you save alot, it might be better to go with the 06. If the longer warrenty is big for you, go with the 07.

Buy the one that gives you the best deal. If the 2007 used one is from an indidual and you don't have to pay sales tax, you might want to look hard at that....and the extra warranty. Sales tax is money in the wind.

If buying used doesn`t bother you then you have to go for the best out the door price. I on the other hand wouldn`t buy this car used if the 06 is close on the deal because,i don`t know about you but i would rather break my car in then have someone that i don`t know break it in for me. Just my .02 Good Luck with your choice.
