If you wanna get really technical, there were 2 different versions of the 1st gen hatch! In fact, my profile picture shows both side-by-side (plus some mods to mine) ;)
1st 1st gen (2004-2006) (Notice yellow side indicators, wimpy spoiler, and more spokes on rims):
2nd 1st gen (2007-2008) (Clear side indicators, bigger spoiler, less spokes):
2nd gen (2009-2011):
3rd gen (2012-present):
