Thanks for posting these two very flattering tests. I expected a winner in the end, but what we have are two winners!

I drove both, and in the end landed on the 3.2. The sound and top-end pulling power with minimal sacrifice in mpg (2 mpg combined) sealed the deal. And real world mileage has been exceptional. I averaged 29mpg on a 650 mile road trip.

i wouldn't put it that way.
the v6 is quieter and sounds like a nice v6, whereas the 2.0 is a bit louder and less refined.

Really???!!! Is this per the trip computer or you calculated it based on what you actually used. My 2.0T did almost 26mpg on my first highway trip (actually used and calculated, TC said 27.2mpg). I've never heard of a 3.2 doing that well so good for you.
