Thanks for the feedback!
What are your recommendations about the 2.7 vs. the 3.2? I think it would be nice to have the 3.2, but is it worth the extra costs?

Lots of opinions so I'll start....
First off, drive both and decide whats best for you. As for the money, there isn't nearly the price difference between the two cars like there use to be. I'd say that for the difference of ~$1.5-$2.5K, The S is more than worth it. Don't forget that its more than just a bigger motor.

I'm not 'dissin' the 2.5 or 2.7. I've owned both base and S models at the same time. I truly enjoyed the base and would be quite happy with it but when I'd get back in the S, well, I just enjoyed it more.
