I seriously enjoy driving to work and school every morning. Not because I'm looking forward to the work day (I'm not) but because I love driving my car.

And trying to to keep the revs down to get the best MPGs is financially responsible, but hot damn is it boring.

 

I feel the same. I love yhe drive to my gfs house. It takes like a gallon just to get there but its fun. I love driving and its only because of my car

 

I hate to be rude, but if you're having buyers remorse, the only way out of it is to take a hit. I've sold a car after owning it for 3 months before (Camaro SS), sometimes there are flaws in cars you just can't accept or fix.

you made the economical choice. you got the v6. you want more low end power (v8?) but more mpg (?), you can't have it all. if gas prices are killing you at 26mpg, you probably shouldn't be driving an expensive car. I'd say other factors are probably costing you more and the gas prices are just the icing on the cake. 26mpg and over 300 horses .. you have it good man. be content with what you have or take the hit and move on!

 

Change your driving technique. Don't jump off the line, and don't come to a fast stop. Finesse the throttle and the brakes, and you'll get much better mileage.

The V6 has the power you want - if you want to improve the low-end, there are steps you can take, but know that an improvement in one area usually means a degradation in other parts of the power band. Like everything else on a performance car, balance and compromise are the keys.

(I feel like Mr. Miagi from Karate Kid - wax on, wax off, grasshopper. )

 

How about we all encourage our friends family and neighbors to buy really good MPG vehicles (sure! buy a prius!) If we get everyone we know to buy those, the demand for gas in the US will drop and hopefully we can create an oil glut to drive gas prices way down. Then we can drive the heck out of our rides!

 

I couldn't be any more happier with my 2012 V6 M6 coupe with the 2:73 axle. Its plenty fast and powerful enough for me, and with the 3:31 rear you get even more zip. I'm planning on getting a Ford racing 3:55 gears soon but man, you cant beat the gas mileage on those 2:73's. Im getting 32.7mpg with the cruise set at 70mph and I can drop it down to 5th and floor it and I'll be at 100mph in about 3 seconds... Not too many V6's can do that. Keep your car!!!!

 

All the above. Every day
I love my 06 gt
Im spending more moding it then i am in gas im pretty sure
Just bought her a mgw shifter
Also i bought a jack. Stands. Gonna get an impact gun soon.
I worry less about mpg and stand on the gas nearly every day with a smile on my face

 

If you are unhappy with your purchase then find something that will make you happy.

 

For as much time as I spend driving to and from work every week, if I owned a Prius I'd kill myself, lol...Nothing like driving a car that puts a smile on your face everytime you go WOT

 

Suicide is never the answer Baker... If you ever buy a Prius I'll be the one that kills you.
