I always say this because it always happens -- these awesome deals always show up when I am in the least prepared position to buy, and they NEVER come up when I actually want to buy... |

Very unique! Wonder why Lexus didn't stay in the wagon market?

Power memory seats showed up, an upgraded MID in the dash and a few other items.
I also think it's a better looking car as well (I'm biased as I own an 07).
More details: 2006 TSX Model Year Changes - Acura TSX Forum
There are a fair number of 04-05s available for cheap with manuals but the facelifted ones are very rare - I searched for nearly a year for a manual back in the day and gave up and got an auto.

The XT sold well, but most of them were sold to extreme soccer moms who wanted the grunt of a turbo, but did not want to row their own gears. The 5 speeds that were sold typically end up in the hands of car guys. I know of a couple really nice FXT's that have been owned by the same guys since day one. You just don't need to sell Subarus, they're such great cars.
This is an awesome car, and one I've been looking for since selling my STi. But at $15k, the guy is nuts. This is a $12k vehicle at best, even with 97,000km.

Yup, Outback. Not a Forester. I love the Forester XT of that generation. It's the manual trans mated to the turbo motor that makes it rare and a potent combo. I too have been yearning for one since I sold my STi. Perfect utilitarian hoon mobile |
