The 09 system is much better; better resolution, brightness, overall feel of the layout, etc.
However, I've heard they want 10K more the for the 08 vs 09 year. Personally I feel the 10K difference is worth it since you're getting your money back on a newer car, less miles, better idrive and all things associated with a newer car. I made the choice to go with the 09 over the 08and other than my bummed 6MT, I'm in love with the car. It's spotless. The 1 year difference in age of the car will reflect on the value of it down the road and is probably worth the price difference. Especially if we're talking a car with low miles. I would not however go for an 09 with 50K miles on it. You should be looking at a car with 15K or less miles.


Cheers,
