Hey guys,

What can I expect going from a '04 to a '06 is the subject. The stereo will sound better I already know, the rear window appears somewhat larger. The seats seem to be more rugged in appearance too. Driving experience wise I've lost it a couple times in a '04 when the tires weren't fully warmed up and dry - how will the VSA aid in such circumstances? Does the throttle by wire negect some of the clutch slip with the delay valve and is rev matching easier/harder/about the same? Also, any noticeable defects on the '06? I remember my '04 didn't have the best rear bumper fitment, which seemed common. Feel free to elaborate about the differences.

Electronic throttle
Vehicle stability assist
Rear window defroster button in front of shift lever
Different seats -- leather abd headrests are different
Two little speakers in each roll bar
XM Radio compatible
Brushed aluminum treatment on around inside door handles now gunmatal gray
Brushed aluminum treatment on center console sliding door now black plastic

 

Also map pockets on the passenger underside dash, and different wheel pattern. Also, the door sounds better when you close it - more solid.

 

Raptor - Thanks for the info. What are you referring to by 23/51 in your sig? Also, did you previously own a 04/05? Nice color.

I am looking for more feedback on the overall driving experience differences too.

 

The Raptor, nice Laguna Blue and the accessories.

 

A guy in the So Cal forum did personalized car sigs for people and numbered them. He stopped at 51. I previously owned an 00 Berlina.

 

Bump.

 

Can't tell DBW is there. I have seen the VSA light a few times in the rain

 

^^ ive was told by multiple honda salemen(buddies + random sales) that most people would not notice the difference in the DBW, unles they have owned a S2k previously, and if they have, they dont like the DBW.

 

No throttle lag.
