why does everyone seem to be shocked when a 250bhp 2.8litre turbocharged V6 gets less gas mileage than the 2.0T model? V6 engines are gas pigs but add a turbo to the mix and you get a gas warthog!
You really have to weigh up the pros and cons of each model? Is the V6 really that much faster than the 2.0T? The Aero model probably has some features that arent on the 2.0T like the metal inserts in the doors etc etc. I wouldnt really be overly concerned about the mileage if you feel the V6 is more fun. I see you have a 9-5 Aero -- what a gorgeous car that is and I could well see one of those in my drive one of these days but it wont be an 06, yuk!
