that's a lot of car hopping in two years...

besides the engine, i think a few other changes were made - can't remember specfically. prolly search the f forum.

didn't they do something slightly different w/ the gauges from 05 to 06?

enjoy the ride

V6 versus supercharged i-4.

7 speed versus 5 speed auto (no difference if you have manual)

minor changes are in the options/standard features
