If you ride the car hard you will be happier. The V6 Aero also came with wider wheels, the BIIIIG brakes, stiffer suspension, etc.
Especially if you can swing an MY2008, the 2008 automatic cars got the 'SPORT' mode switch for the transmission, makes aggressive driving MUCH more enjoyable - John is right about the 6-speed auto doing weird things and deciding it wants to hang up in gear or take forever to drop one when you mash it.
The sport mode in the '08 holds shifts longer, kicks down sooner, holds the gear on decel longer, etc.
See if whoever is selling it will let you take it out and throttle it for 20 mins, you'll see what I mean driving it in 'normal' compared to sport.
