We bought a 2012 6 speed last November. It's been excellent so far. It's quiet and smooth on the highway with around 34mpg (Canadian gallon).
We sold the OEM wheels with the "shipping tires" immediately and put on Konig rims and Hankook H727 tires plus replaced the rear swaybar with the direct bolt-on WRX 19mm bar. It improved the sway in the breeze handling immensely.
The new ones have a redesigned engine with a timing chain and I believe the larger swaybar.
