Default Difference between '06 and '08 models

Hi, I have recently been looking to trade in my 2000 ES300 for an '08 IS250. However, my dealership has a pretty good deal on an '06 with 45k miles, certified pre-owned, with navigation and back up camera for $21k. Is there any difference between an '06 and '08 as far as how they look ( personally, I cant see any diffference) or in what they include? Would I be better off to trade in for a newer model or would an '06 be fine?

There were a few issues with the '06 model that were addressed in 2007 and 2008, some of them just rattles with the interior, some of them engine stuff that affected some drivers. In 2008 they also tried to provide a bit more room in the back so you have the redesigned (back) of the front seats.
I am driving a '07

it seems as though even the '08's have a very small back seat. Is the back seat bigger at all in the 2010 and newer models?
