My '08 SportCombi is not the 2.0, but I love it. A lot of the features are downright 'clever.'
It would add to your price and I don't even know if it's available in the '08 2.0, but XWD is fantastic if you can get it.
Also, the 6 speed manual is noticeably easy to shift, so don't necessarily exclude that possibility. We live in the city, so we have traffic, but then I don't drive 150 mi in a week.
My only design criticism is the complex and bulky housing for the cargo area cover. I don't know what other makes have and I wouldn't base the decision on that. For daily use, it's quite convenient, but if you want 'mission flexibility' to go somewhere and pick up or drop off something bulky (bicycle, sailbags) it can be a minor annoyance to get it disconnected and stowed. It's not as elegantly simple as a 900 hatchback's carpeted piece o'plywood.
