And it doesn't have 2.5L V6. It has the 2.7L V6 with 173 hp. And this engine seems to have enough power to have get up and go on the highway and in the city when you need to pass someone.
I get about 19 mpg in my 08 v6. But I don't drive much. I agree about the steering; you shouldn't have to pay as much attention to it. I'm happy with it though.
