I test drove a 3.2 and didn't think the power gain was THAT noticeable. It sure didn't have the charisma of the 2.5 or the spine tingling exhaust note above 4k. The added power of the 2.7 or 3.2 is most apparent on the highway; drop it in 3rd at 60mph then floor it and the more powerful cars strut their stuff and would pull away from the 2.5.
Really, they're all good cars, so concentrate on buying the best maintained model you can find.

I love how my 2.5 sounds.. But have never heard an S to compare. The S has more grumble, but does our 2.5 really have the ideal metallic scream above 4k?
