I didn't realize about the headlights until after I purchased my 03, bothered me a bit at first, then I just forgot about it .

Most people wont notice it and for the deal I got I certainly cant complain

It's not only that. The new 6 speed transmission rides much smoothly, which was introduced in '04 keeps that engine more at ease. + you have the tiptronic which is just awesome!

Default Time for snow tires

Pickup up the car. Love it.

Snow tires ordered. Now, a bit of routine maint.

Oil change, filter, trans drain and fill, rear diff, and coolant change.

Then, good to go.
