I test drove it for the first time today at Fitzgerald Hyundai, but all they had was a 2.0T base Auto and a 3.8 GT M/T.

Any thoughts/ input would be greatly appreciated.

(Also trying to decide between White or Red for the color)

Edit: Probably would be getting either 2.0/ 3.8 Track package. (Which I haven't been able to test-drive yet)
I've driven both, the 2.0T and 3.8. BY FAR the 3.8 is the way to go ~50% more HP than the 4 cylinder, and it shows. The 2.0 is great for people who want a car that looks fast, but if you actually want a fast car, get the 3.8. It's well worth the 4-5k price difference.

I'll be getting the 3.8 Track w/Navigation in the not so distant future.

Edit: if you're one of those people who likes to dump $10k worth of upgrades into your car, then the 2.0 might be the way to go, as there's a huge market for parts / upgrades for 4 cylinder turbos. However, if you plan to drive the car as is, I still say get the 3.8.
