The 3.3TT mod was my first thought reading your initial post as well, it's a valid observation. No need to get defensive, I went through this with my V6 Camaro a while back (V8 envy) and after about a year moved on, eventually ended up in the Stinger.Could've bought a 3.3TT, didn't want it. Try modding the 3.3 to get 30mpg, GLWT.
The 2.5T tuned is going to be a nice compromise and you'll definitely enjoy the car more. The days of 30MPG are likely behind you though.
