<disclaimer> These are my own personal opinions and reasons, everyone else is entitled to theirs as well, which will be different than mine, and I respect that.

I had a V6 car for 3 years, it was boring to me and I seldom drove it. I could never find anyone to buy it for any reasonable amount in spite of it's low mileage and pristine flawlessness. To me it lacked performance in power and braking. In my opinion none of the performance exhaust systems available sound like anything I want my car emitting, so I was blocked from the start on the most important mod.

Facing another winter, and further loss of resale value upon the next spring, I went against every car dealer principal I believed in and I traded it in on a new SS. I am so glad I did.

The V6 makes for a better daily driver all around with it's cheaper fuel and maintenance costs, smoother ride, great little engine warms up fast, easier on tires, decent performance, but that's not what I was looking for.
