Yes, I don't have any interest in collector cars. I would rather get a well maintained high mileage car.

It never improved. There were minor cosmetic changes for the 2005 refresh, but nothing that would be considered an improvement in quality or materials (except for the expensive, higher quality English Leather option that was added in the final years).
