I'd go for the LS. My dad has an '03 with the sport package with the 3.0 and auto
but it handles awesome. One of the best handling cars I've driven while still having a great ride. The V6 is a bit sluggish with the auto, but I bet the 5 speed would liven it up a bit. Make sure you get the sport package. Even with the V6 auto, I can steer the car during aggressive driving with the throttle pedal.(just dont let my dad know)
