judging from your history of vehicles, you're not going to be satisfied with the 3.0si. Sometimes I wish it had more grunt... don't need it all the time, would be a waste hauling kids everywhere, but some of the time I feel like it needs more pickup. DS mode would work, but I'm not going to bothered doing that here and there. I wonder how the M drivers handle it - how often they flick that M button.
