2003 and 2004 VIII

I was wondering what the differences between the 2003 and 2004 VIII's are and if there are any pros or cons of going with either year. I am shying away from the 03's in case of first year bugs or something I usually try and stay away but if I can still find a low low mileage gem and it's a 2003 I don't want to pass it up... I just want to be fully aware of what some issues are, clutches? colors? electrical problems? Someone fill me in. Thanks

I have an 03 and it drives like a dream. I have heard that all the Evo VIII's have transmission problems so you gotta be gentle. Otherwise I dont know anything different.

The only difference worth a damn is the Limited slip diff or as Mitsusissy calls it the ACD.

Neither of those were on the '04 base. The front LSD was on the '04 RS, but not the ACD. You're thinking of the '05s

What colors were available as 03's but not 04's and vice versa... if any. I wonder how hard it'd be to come acrossed a used 05 with low miles in electric blue for under $25,000. Hmm I'm not picky but it was a thought.
