I've got an '04 Linear with the "Premium Package" (ACC, tiptronic 5-speed being the two big ones included in this package).
I like the pep pf the 175hp mill and feel it is plenty adequate if you use the semi-auto box (just for a bit of perspective, our previous cars were a 3-series Beemer, and an M5).
The power-to-economy of this engine are spectacular, IMHO, and this motor has given us 66,000 miles of bullet-proof reliability in addition to plenty of grins per mile.
Never driven a 210 hp Arc, but I would think the torque-steer characteristics of this mill would be evident, whereas on the 175hp torque-steer is negligible.
All I'm saying is don't write-off the smaller motor 'till you drive one - you *may* be pleasantly surprised.
