I've owned about 7 of them starting in 97.
Currently own a 2012, well it's more of a demo(and for sale

) , but anyhow, the new engine is big big big improvement over the 3.8 lump from before. If you can, I would buy a new one.
Since 2007 they are very liveable as a daily driver, as long as you go with the hardtop, with the removable panels, I don't feel the need for a soft top anymore. Quite quiet on the highway, really good power now.
