The 2009 Mazda 6 is supposed to be available by August (I'm told). Is it really worth it to pay more for a V6 engine? The V4 would be about $28,450 with the options I want, and the V6 would be $30,850. Here are the specs of the V4 and V6:
170-hp 2.5L DOHC 16-valve 4-cylinder, 21/30 mpg
272-hp 3.7L DOHC 24-valve V6 engine, 17/25 mpg
While I would like the power of the V6, will the V4 be that much slower? I can still get leather seats with the V4 -- the only thing I can't get which I really want is the dual exhaust outlets in the back, I think that looks a lot sportier.
I guess the gas mileage is a consideration, too, with the price of gas now.
Anyway, is the V4 really that much slower with the horsepower listed above?
