Another vote for the V6!

Just wanted to to share my experience. I own a '99 9-5SE V6 sedan with 46K miles. I took it to the dealership for some maintenance items, and got a brand new (less than 2,500 miles) 9-5 Station Wagon 2.3t with the 5-speed automatic as a loaner.
Well, after driving it for two days IMHO the V6 is MUCH nicer. The 4-cylinder feels weak off-line, doesn't have the imediate power surge of the V6 (especially in Sport mode) and sounds like, well, a 4-cylinder... Is the manual transmission version much better?
Other than that, I REALLY like the Station Wagon, and this will be my next car (unless I can afford an Audi All Road Quattro...)
Just my two cents...
