Mine is 2010 4wd with 6 speed manual. Best manual shift experience by far.

I drive it sparingly because imo it's the best car i ever owned. It's just overall so well-balanced. Transmission shifts great, long, direct, and with slightly more effort than a honda manual, very similar to the older E30, power is quick and smooth on tap, handling is superb and tight, doesn't feel like a 4 door family sedan at all. I wonder how much better a rwd version would feel.
