I have a manual 4.0 V6. Compared to the 5.0 Automatics that I rented before I got my US license, it feels much quicker, yet not as loud, but that is probably more due to me feeling like I'm not really driving a car when it's an automatic...

Problems? The thermostat housing split THE DAY I PICKED IT UP! But otherwise, it's been really reliable since November.

Drove it in the snow, through a white out and it's been absolutely fine, I don't know why people get so fussy about RWD... I plan on giving it a service and detail in the coming weeks though, as I want to take it Autocrossing.
