The 100 series has another model that wasn't released in USA, the 105 series. There are a lot of differences between the 2, the main 1 being the 105 has a solid front axle and coil sprung, and different chassis and wheel offsets. Also the 105 only had basic petrol and diesel N/A engines. No factory turbo or V8 options. offsets.

I’ve driven 06/07 with and without AHC and I certainly do prefer AHC. The ride quality certainly is good but the 200 series has other creature comforts. My biggest issue is rust, my 2006 has some rust unfortunately. Now that I’m in CA I could easily take care of it and never look back, but the appeal of a low mileage almost-new 200 series as a car for the next 20 years is too high. Also, I’m surprised to hear you say 24K for a 96K mile 2007. More like 35-40K in the US.
