Default newbie looking at TL

Hey guys, very cool site you have here. I sold my DSM for a 4 door car and I love the styling of the 04-06 TL's. I just have a couple questions and I'd figured I would ask you guys vs talking to the stealership!!
Are there any cronic problems with them? Do they have to run premium gas or is regular fine? With the cost of gas these days this is a big problem. My DSM had to have premium and it sucked to fill up.
The Navi is just the Navigation system correct? and the Dynamic package is bigger brakes and steering mods right??

Any other things to look at?
Thanks fella's..

Major problems are 3rd gear with the 04 MT. I have an 05 MT and have no problems. But I have heard of some with the 05's. 04 seems to be the most problem ridden year probably because it was the first year of the new body style.

As for gas, I only run premium in mine, never questioned it. Usually they recommend octane rating based on the compression ratio of the engine. So I just use premium.

Navi is just navigation, the MT gets Brembo brakes up front, but the rear brakes are the same as the AT. Also the MT gets limited slip as the auto does not. I think that's about it as for the differences.
