I currently own a Grand Prix White/Red 01', never had a single problem with it. I was thinking about buying an 05 since mine has 65k miles on it. I felt let down after driving the new one. However its up to your personal taste and what your daily driving style is like. The 2.2L is not any faster than the 2.0L, the little added torque doesn't make up for the lowered redline. I've raced a couple and it was dead even until about 100+, then i started to pull. My biggest complaint is the new suspension, handling is not nearly as sharp. Rear glass window is a big improvement, I can't see shit through the plastic. Better sound system, but I prefer to listen to the VTEC sing anyway. I advise you to go drive an 02' and a 04+, see which one is more for you. My favorite is the 02' hands down.
