 Purchased new in July 2009, drove 1000 miles to break-in before a trip from Pittsburgh to Oregon.  Very comfortable ride for 2 people over a week and a half.  Highway gas mileage was 28-32 mpg.  Still average 25-30 mpg with my rural driving.  Would have liked AWD with a manual tranny, but the one time I drove on an untreated, snow-covered road (~1") the FWD did fine with factory tires.  Also glad I went with the stick once I heard stories about the 6-speed auto.  No problems with my vehicle 17,000 miles, 1.5 years later.  Rides well, though the body pitches up/down excessively when applying power or braking (making smooth uphill stops/starts difficult).
