The '09 fixes my only major complaint with my '07 - the seats and driving position. For this reason alone, I was considering upgrading, but cash is just not available right now. I like the small stuff, like rear headrests that I don't have to remove, more storage, more hp, nicer stock wheels (though I have the HFP upgrade), and less boxy look.
The thing that makes it easier to refuse just now is that you have to get the Navi to get the VSA. I have no use for a built-in Navi (I prefer one that's programmable while I'm at my PC, hence I use an HP iPaq with TomTom software), but I would love the added safety of the VSA.
Plus, I just installed my JDM center console, and the '09 has nothing like it.
Maybe in a year or two....
