I still have my 04 Altis 1.6E MT and i'm still liking it as my daily driver. compared to the J, the E trim has OEM central locking door lock and alarm, antenna incorporated in the rear windshield, autoclimate control, ABS and SRS/Airbag, Interior door trim lights (front), and many more smaller details. The good thing is you can always retrofit the front grille from 06-07 models to the 04-05 models bolt-on to make it more updated! the only one thing that separates the 06-07 model from the 05-down models is the radio controls mounted in the steering wheel...
