The automatic is an Aisin/Warner 5sp and is really well matched to the turbo engine and very reliable too. I haven't driven the manual but apparently it's a bit clunky with long throws and requiring deliberate shifting action. (sounds like my 9k manual).
By '06 the PCV (engine sludge) problem was worked out. As long as you have records of regular oil changes you should be OK.
It was the first year for the current facelift, some people don't like the looks of the front end or interior. I prefer the earlier instrument panel myself.
I think for '06 there was no Aero model, all cars were 260hp but sport seats and chassis were optional.
The sport seats are well worth waiting for.
