I'm almost certain I'll be buying the 2.0 variant very soon. It's a departure from my previous position. For starters, I realize the 2.5's cost is quite a substantial bump from the base 2.0. You could use the 400K difference for more important things. Besides, you can always add performance mods in the future when your situation calls for it. But I guess the 2.0 will be satisfactory to meet the demands of everyday driving in the city.

Furthermore, the 2007 models of the 2.0 have now been upgraded. The head unit is now a 6 CD in-dash affair; foglamps are now standard; seats are in black fabric and water repellant; and speakers come in 6.1 mode with tweeters and a subwoofer. My guess is fuel economy will be better too. With gas prices creeping to the 40s, every bit of wise spending habits will do us a lot of good in the long run.
