Not sure of everything... but my 03 Ex to 05 Ex has been a more than positive change...
the ride is drastically improved...
the 05 seems a lot more solid than the 03 did....
the engine noise is MUCH less intrusive in the cabin
(and that's even though they did not put a hood blanket and inner fender skirts on the 05 !)
have not had it long enough to give more than first impressions...
only 700 miles on it thus far...
but will keep you informed...
the only negative ?
the low valuation of my trade in...
