I like the new look better than the old one. When I graduated from highschool, my parents got me a really old Tercel ... I called it the ugly duckling.

06 maybe has 1 or 2 more issues. No need to scare a new owner. Jerk.

Can't go wrong with the Tein S Techs. Not a single issue with mine, except maybe wanting to go lower eventually. However, the H&R's might drop the car a tad bit more. Guess it's always good to see other member's cars with either setup.

Btw, I have no "issues" w/ my '06 awd. Well, besides wanting a few more hp. But that's a different story..

I worry about PorSiempre sometimes... The only real differences between the 2006 and 2007 are the lack of a shark fin antenna (for XM radio), changes to the functionality of the TRAC button (pedal dance) and a slightly different button layout for the gas/trunk release buttons. Hardly dealbreakers.
