I wanted a V6 but only had a short space of time to find one. Ended up getting a zetec which came along at a cracking price and to be honest I've been more than pleased with it. It's our less used car we also have a diesel galaxy for the family car so the cougar is just a run about - last year the cougar did 3100 miles. So for me the fuel difference wouldn't be a lot between the two, but the insurance on the zetec is only £290 for me - the last quote I had for the v6 was £440. I got a few bits from the scrap yard which I wanted on the v6 if I'd ever found one - this was a full leather interior for £75 and a spoiler (not fitted the spoiler yet).
Most of the driving I do would never see the benefit of the V6, I do short journeys which are rarely able to get any speed up. I do sometimes wish I'd had the V6 but if I put my sensible head on I'd probably choose the zetec over the V6 every time
