If the heads are dry and there's not a whiff of overheating this may be a nice specimen. Suspension is softer than 2002-2007, compromising handling a bit in exchange for a buttery ride in 2008-2011. The 2.5i is perky, but will gobble fuel with either trans., One buys these for sturdiness and AWD, not fuel eco. At this age you'll be looking at exhaust and maybe struts, as well brakes every 3-4 winters. Just be sure those heads are dry! Good luck. Ern
