With 2005 being the first year of the 5th generation should it be avoided?
We want a 6 cylinder convertible.
Is there a thread where all this has been hashed out before?

I don't know of any 2005-specific issues honestly, especially with the V6.

I would bet after 14 years of life, anything that was bad would have happened by now

2005 V6 is a solid car, even if it is the first year of the series.
