yes it is a hard decision. I've never really been too big on 4 bangers. I wanted the V6, but due to the amount I drive daily right now it wasnt a good option for gas mileage. Plus I missed driving a stick and wanted a manual. I dont regret getting the 4 cyl. The extra hp would be nice thought. I just bought some nice chrome tips for my exhaust to increase the appearance a bit. waiting to install them when its not -20 outside. The other "extras" would be nice also. The goodyears on the 18" rims are definitely not good in the snow. The I4s are good cars tho. IMO
