I have a friend who thinks that every newer model is a forward step and he continues to go out and buy the new model. Each to their own, but I like to see and feel real improvement.
Autos usually need replacing after 150,000k's, and are expensive.
Manuals are more reliable and much more fun, clutch is not so strong, but cheap and easy to replace.
IRS is pretty good. The upper shock mounts might need 'adjusting', and the diff mounts may need replacing. The diff centre is pretty strong.

here are what my shock mounts sounded like:
