I'm posting these since a few people asked over in the pre-purchase thread.
The background, we were shopping for a new car and the wife had two must haves Leatherette/Leather and a manual.
We really didn't want to go with a GT, so test drove an manual 2.5i Premium and it hade more than enough pep. Got the leather installed at a local upholstery shop and are very happy with the results.
