I just picked up an 06 awd less than a month ago. I love it, its alot of fun for a daily driver. Gas mileage does suck. i average 14.8 on the hwy driving like an old man. Mine is supposed to go to TTP this week for a tune and electric fan conversion. We'll see what that nets me at the pumps.

I have an awd tbss, and average about 12-13 on the street, and 15-16 on the highway if I'm lucky.
Mine came with everything except nav and a sunroof. I love it! It's comfortable as hell, handles great for an SUV, and my kid falls asleep watching movies in the back. It really wakes up in the higher RPMs, and the Goodyear Eagle F1's that came from the dealer are 1) cheap @ like $100/tire off tirerack last time i checked and 2) are excellent in snow and shitty conditions.
I've driven it in fierce winds, all kinds of rain, ice storms, snow, slush, whatever. The TBSS doesn't care.

I'm piping up a little late, but love mine. I have an 08 RWD TBSS and have seen 21mpg with it. That is cruising at 50mph for a distance with self control not to go faster lol. Normally 14-18 mpg average, 2-3mpg at wide open throttle when i measures it.

I had an 07 and from experience 2 things you need to consider (small but easily overlooked). Rock chips on the bottom of the rear doors from the front tires. Especially if you are buying from a dealer make sure these areas are chip free or if the TSB has been performed make sure 3M has been installed installed. Second and obvious, the tune. Make sure you turn on PE! Play with the Burst Knock too. These 2 and a little timing and removal of some TM got my AWD to chirp the tires and launch off the line. But that is just my experience. And yeah as stated above MPG isn't good.
