Others im sure will chime in here with more detailed explanations but in summary, to the best of my knowledge:
-08-09, no apparent differences.
-10 had a minor refresh to electronics and exterior mirrors. Later 2010 models corrected a defective head bolts issue that some earlier models had.
i dont know of any changes between 2010 and 2011.

There is a consideration about an engine head bolt issue pre 2011 that is worth looking into.
Read the first sticky on this forum.

In US the 2008's had automatic folding in side mirrors, while other years don't. My previous 2008 did not have a split rear seat and ability to fold down, while my 2009 has that ability. Body style changed in 2010 to less aggressive hood and front bumper, with LED's, better transmision, I think.

Your 2008 did not have split folding rear seats, rear sunshade, xenon lights because you didn't have the P2 package. Your 2009 had those options because it did have the P2 package. The only changes in 2010 were the outside mirrors and the electronics. The less aggressive hood, bumpers, leds and Multi Clutch Tranny was in 2012.
