I hesitated trading in my 05 SE 4R on a 2011 SR5 with leather and the pretty much everything else. I have no regrets at all getting the 5th gen. The seats are way more comfy, the headroom is better, it is starting to break in and seems quicker. The dual vvti does make a difference. It goes into a different power band when it hits 3500rpm and pulls harder. Don't really miss the Xreas as much as I thought I would, the new one rides smoother and handles just as good on the back roads near my house.The stereo in the 5th sounds way better than the old JBL system, especially in "Party Mode". The 5th is quieter than the 4th, even the sunroof operates much quieter.I also noticed no wind buffeting as speeds increase.The interior also has more room all the way around.The only thing that I miss is the rear window function on the remote !! I liked dropping the back window on hot days or with an arm full of groceries.My 05 SE was a great vehicle though, it never had any issues at all.
I also miss the hood scoop a little, but it was a bug collector, when large bugs hit the mesh grill @ 80 mph it would dice them up into pieces that I could not get out of the scoop !!
