'04's had their fair share of issues overall...new car lot's of bugs to work out. '05-'08, haven't heard as much as the bugs as the '04s. '09, haven't heard a lot yet. All the year models are practically the same except the 09 has a different transmission.
Preferred year? Eh, not really...if you're buying used I'd suggest 06-08 because there should be plenty of warranty left on the vehicle and low mileage. As for price, 04's can be found dirt cheap.
