So, absolutely no reason for me to upgrade. Well, till 2005 then.

No Bright switch LOL

Not so snug seats

NO rattles or squeaks AT ALL

More BHP eerrr LOADS more on mine as i had PPP from new

centre storage on top of dash now a clock ????? .

generally softer springs but better all round ride (ie comfort).
grips just as well but at first didnt seem as chuckable but this was probably down to the less supportive seats and softer springs.


On the whole I love it compared to my MY99 it is faster more comfortable and vastly better screwed together than my old one

I went from 01 to 03 --> Big step.

03-04 looks like a worthless idea.

So 03 to 06 it will be when the new one arrives.

Question

err lightweight boot lock less 25kg? You sure that's right?

The boot lock/boot on the 03 is the flimsiest thing I ever used- it flexes awfully if you turn the key the wrong way! I doubt it weight 25kg- more like 0.25kg.....

Saying there's no bright switch - what will we do
If you were referring to the MY03, mine still has a bright switch (or something that fits the "useless" description of one I've seen on here). It's a rotary collar on the light switch stick !
Someone should have won an award for that bright idea (pun)

I know what you mean Nick used to fiddle with it all the time (and the bright switch ).
The one thing i wanted though was a steering mounted ICE control my old pug standard 306 D turbo had this and i used to love surfing the airwaves and being able to turn Chris Moyles off without crashing the car in the process.


If you were referring to the MY03, mine still has a bright switch
.

Well bu66er me sideways just been outside to check cause i never even noticed it was there LOL so i can still twiddle to my hearts content
