Welcome!
I have a USA model Venue SE, which has the six-speed manual (no heated seats, though). I'm liking it a lot. It replaced a 5-speed manual Scion xA, and I've noticed that the top gear ratio is a little taller than the Scion's was. That probably helps account for good highway mileage. The fifth gear is about the same ratio as my Scion's top gear, so I find myself cruising around town in fifth most of the time. City driving is a little tough in sixth. But on a highway, it is great.
