In December 2007 I bought a new Limited 6 spd with a Lifetime Powertrain Warranty for $13K off sticker. After about 14 months I was still so happy with it that I drove 1,000 miles round trip in a snow storm to buy another new one ...a 2008 Limited Auto/Nav for my wife...$21K off sticker......& to this very day I still feel like I stold both of them !!
As a daily driver I've put 47,000 miles on the 6 spd....driven easy....it'll get almost 27 mpg..(I ave. 24.5 over the course of a full year)..I've had it up to 131 mph (in 5th)....got chicken to continue upwards..(needed new tires at that time). My wife's automatic ave's about 1 to 1.5 mpg less than the stick.
Only problem ever encountered was ...after driving 105 mph at minus 5 F on I-70 the fan kept running fast till the ECU reset itself.
