The fact that this topic even exists shows that V6 owners will always be questioned for taking the V6 and most will have to convince themselves 300 HP is plenty.

The above is WAY off topic, so, yeah...you both trashed the original intent of the thread.
But that IS the original intent of the thread; I guess it would take a non-V6 owner to see that. It is a feel-good thread that hopefully isn't needed for anyone purchasing a V6.

I did that for 4 months. I was constantly looking for reinforcement that the V6 was the way to go. At first it was mainly price - and boy the bang for the buck on the V6 is unbelievable, but then got a raise, refinanced my mortgage, found a credit union with a 4.75% rate and the SS was getting very close to my maximum limit. I was waking up at night thinking about it; telling myself that I don't NEED a v8; I'm not a racer or gearhead and KNEW that a V6 would satisfy me - but could not kill that little voice. So I switched to a 2SS two days ago and now I only wake up to smile a little and drift away....
There are a lot of people like this...A LOT. Just saying this thread may make a person on the fence feel better, but it won't last. If you get a V6 make sure you have no regrets. It's a great car but make sure it's what you want, because you will get some negative feedback from others. Please note that I have nothing bad to say about a V6, I'm just warning that there will be people who will knock it.
