Default Difference between 05' and 06'?

sup peeps!?!?! i'm looking to get an RSX Type-S...but i'm not sure which year to get...i mean...i could get a brand new 06' for almost the same price as a used 05'...but my question is...what is the difference? i know that the 05' comes with 210hp...while the 06' only comes with 201hp...why did they go backwards in power? is the 05' faster than the 06'? is there a weight difference between the two? and last question, lol...what are the redlines for each? i read that the 06' redlines @ 7900...help me out folks...thanx

Eh, I haven't really heard any issues with these cars at all. The people I know that own them, have nothing negative to say about them. Another car I would look at , is the new Si (test drove one, one helluva wellbuilt, fun to drive/comfortable car).
