I'm going to go against what the others have said. I know changes have been made over the years but I really disliked my first year Limited model. The drivers seat sucked, maybe it just didn't fit me but my back would get achy after an hour or so. It was a slug and the tranny was annoying on a good day. The handling was acceptable until you needed to turn. The fuel economy was decent but it was a struggle to get 30mpg and it burned a quart of oil every 1500 to 2k miles. I traded it for the BRZ because it thoroughly bored me and because the drivers side rear hub bearing was shot at 63k and I couldn't replace it in the driveway in the winter. I traded it in and the next owner had it seize and trash the axle and damage the rear diff two weeks later.
It might not be as bad with the bigger motor and my brother thinks the suspension tweaks made a huge difference between his 15 and the 20 he has now so maybe... Just be sure the drivers seat is sufficient and fits her well, take the car for a long test drive to find out.
