 I have had my 6 Manual Touring for a month and 1000K.  It is a fantastic value...I got fog lights and navigation (which can be added by the dealer for $400 or so).  22K even out the door.    The fit and finish are very high for a car of this price and the car turns heads.  It is a sexy, well styled sedan.  I have had 4 and 5 people in the car and it feels fine.  The back seat is quite roomy for kids and adequate for adults.  There are a few areas where you can see costs were saved, but honestly, these are minor and I enjoy driving it more than my old Audi A4.  I am averaging 31mph in mixed driving.  I highly recommend this car.  Put the extra 10-20K you'll save over a "luxury" brand in your kids college fund.UPDATE: 7 months and 5K miles in.  I still really like this car.  I get 29 mph in mixed driving, but am not the most conservative driver.  I would say it isn't quite on par with my old Audi in terms of fun to drive, but that is reflected in saving 9mph (in a larger sedan) and 15K in purchase price.  Backseat is roomy for kidlets and I am generally very happy.
