1998 plus. It is the facelift version. If it is a tiptronic it would also be 280 hp instead of 260hp.

Although usually the facelift models have plastic moulds on the wheel arches. Maybe this is a type V rather than a type S? It does have the facelift bumpers.

It's a Type-V model, lower spec than the Type-S.

What makes it lower spec? The engine has the same power. The only difference mechanically is narrower rubber and the possibility of a manual box? Just curious....

Type-Vs don't have AYC either. From what I see most 'Problem' posts about, I think a manual Type-V would be a good bet for someone like.... ME! :-D

Type-V's come in auto or manual, it's an option when u buy it just like the Type-S (this is from Japan).

No AYC, funky dash (speedo), flares on the wheel arcs (smaller tyres u see) for the Type-V's. Bhp/kw is the same.

Dunno whether I see this right but are the Mits badges red, ain't they supposed to be silver.
