( BTW: i'm a 4banger dude here, thanks for the 'not soo love' guys :roll: )

someazn: I say test drive both cars and see which one you want to see yourself driving for a long time. Consider all aspects, (mpg, payments, insurnace, options and driving pleasure). both i4 and v6's have strong porints....

I have the 4-banger SLE and there's nothing for me to complain about. It comes down to your preferences. I don't care about performance too much, got a stylish and cool car, and saved money on the sticker and gas mileage to boot. The only thing better than that for me would be to find the V6 at the same sticker price I suppose.

I have the I4. It looks good, I only have to fill up the gas tank once a week if that, and my insurance is pennies.

Don't you have a Gen 1 4 cyl? The Gen 2 four cylinder has more power. I test drove it and it wasn't too bad at all. But I figured why not get all the power and features possible.

The v-6 does haul ass but the hesitant transmission just ruins it for me sometimes.

stay with 4cyl if it's for a teenager plz.... why bother to get v6?
i'm enough with teenagers donno self control and racing on the streets/freeways. :evil:

and yeah, 4cyl is not end of the world.
u ppl still possible to have supercharger in the future.
v6 ppl like me only can pray HARD.. :(

anyway... under invoice price? hum, i doubt it.
the lowest price i have heard is window price that's included tax.
it's very hard to get that price already. so i doubt if u can go UNDER the invoice.

As i have a 5sfe and a 1mzfe, there are significant differences on mpg's. my 5sfe easily gives me 500 every week (with over a gallon & half left over - so could have been 530-540). My 1mzfe max has given me 420 (usaual is around 370-400). thats close to 100 miles per fill up, again both driving strickly on highways...I speak from experience.
