05 or 03 which is better?

[dehcho]

Hey All;

Which one is better? or are there any differences? In the process of getting rid of the 01 limited for a GT...

As well, 5 speed or Autostick any input there would be great as well.

Thanks

you know there is no REAL answer to that question--not being a smartty here but some will say one thing others another me id go for the newest with the less miles there isn't much difference in a 01 and a 08 as far as looks so go for the one that is newer and will need less repair but that is just me
oh and a 5 speed anyday way less things to go wrong with them

If you can find a 5-speed, they get better mileage, better performance, and are more reliable.
HP went up a skootch between '30 & '05, but you won't notice.
Otherwise, pretty identical.
