I need to make up my mind this weekend whether to put ~ $1,000 into my beater commuter to run another year and buy and '05, or whether to just buy an '04 now. If I wait my down payment will be a lot more, of course, I'm saving ~ $350 per month and currently have ~ $2,000 (my '99 Accord (not my beater, which is an '88 Corsica) is finally paid off so my contributions to this fund are now greater).

What will the differences be? If I remember right, all cars will need to have automatic tire pressure gauges, are there any other differences that have been reported?

I'm interested in the LX, don't need all of the bells and whistles on the EX.
