Just bought the wife '12 V-6 6 speed. Beautiful car on the outside, but, I'm not real thrilled with the interior. A bit too retro for my tastes. Don't have any mileage figures yet, but I can see how you could get some good numbers if you keep your foot out of it. 6th gear is a very high OD. 2K is well over 70 mph.

Have only driven it about 30 miles, but, I do have one complaint. I wish 1st second and third were a little lower. It does pull pretty hard, but not until well past 4K. Pretty nutless below that. I would prefer a closer/lower 1-3 just to get it in the power band a bit quicker. Winding through 5-6 grand in third was kinda fun. Definitely wasn't getting 30 mpg at the time. Pretty sure it will pull 100 mph in third.
