I like Sport, but you may not have a need for it on the north NJ labyrinth of roads.

Both cars are decently equipped and CPO'd with time/miles left on the orig warranty;
The V8 is quicker everywhere, but the IL 6 is no slouch. I agree with JCL: in stop
and go, (80% of NJ driving as I remember), the mpg diff is nada.

Your dough, your potential ride, your pick...though I would keep hunting at area
dlrs, or bang a lil' on the price.
