I have a 2.5 and it's a fantastic little motor. Revs to the moon and sounds amazing. I mean really sounds fantastic, one of the best sounding cars I've ever owned or driven. Has the dual row bearing with little worry of IMS troubles plus gets very respectable MPG.

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.
