2003 SSei or 2004 GXP
Which one should I trade my 2005 SE on? I want more horsepower and I would like some opinions. The amount of money it would take me to turn me SE into what I want. I might as well trade it in.
Thanks

if you want more horsepower, you'd want to go with the SSEi. If you want a smooth ride, high-grade flashiness and good looks, go with the GXP

SSEi - Capable of being much faster than the GXP
SSEi - Capable of being much quicker than the GXP
SSEi - Gets 29MPG, GXP'* get what...low 20s on the highway?

Not from the DIC calculation once running. We're doing the math at fillup when we state 30mpg or better.
My SSEi actually gets 32mpg now at 70mph on long trips (tank to tank).

Couple of short highway trips showed about 21-22mpg taking it easy (60-65mph). Only time I see the 24 advertised on the sticker (or more) is coasting down a big hill !!!

I have had my new 2005 GXP for less than 2 weeks now - but I had a 1,600 mile drive home with it - Ha! I live just southwest of Houston, TX and bought my car in northern Virginia and drove down through Charlotte, NC. I reset the fuel avg every time I filled up and had a high of 21.4 mpg and a low of 19.4 mpg. Not too bad as I was usually around 75mph and in some hilly conditions at times.
