Would you buy an SE or an LE if given the choice
Hi, Kinda a noob here and have been lurking for a while because I'm in the market for a pathy. They come up quite often here in Cali, but wondering if I should get an SE or LE? Are there any known problems of either that would change your mind? I know the LE is the top of the line, but if top of the line brings top of the line problems too, then I'll consider the SE. What are your thoughts?
SE is Sport edition. LE is Lux edition. all have same engines and most options. the Xe is the lesser of all as it is parred down. the trim is gonna be the biggest differences and maybe the electronics like stereo and possibly a sunroof or something. oh and color choices and wheels. My fav of all the R50 chassis is the steel blue in the 04 LE with light wood/tan interior trim, smoke glass with 17 inch wheels. absolute dream truck.
I think the only difference between the two that is you can only get in the LE and is not an option in SE is the way you engage 4WD. LE has "switch on the fly" with auto mode. So you can have it in regular 2wd, set it to auto so that it senses wheel slip and engages 4WD for you, and also has 4wd hi and lo settings you can engage. I personally like these functions better but I know some guys who like the "manual" way of throwing a shift knob. I also think that the bose system is only an LE option as well. So nothing really significant to many people.

Ok. I really have no idea how they packaged things. I have an LE and the only thing in it that seems like it would be an inconvenience is the Auto 4wd system. Everything else seems to be the same. I have the fake wood grain too. Maybe that's part of the LE package too?

Love that color! If I had to paint mine for whatever reason...this is what I decided. I've never seen one in that color though. Too bad I didn't find one when I was looking.zymol75 wrote:SE is Sport edition.
