We ordered the pentastar v6 (3.2L), and the only transmission available is the 9 speed auto. On our test drives, the v6 actually got better mpg than the 4 cyl. The 4 banger never got into 8th or 9th, but stayed in 7th as the top gear at 70mph at 2100 rpm. The v6 got into 8th and dropped to 1600 rpm. 6, 7, 8, and 9th are all overdrive ratios, 9th is 0.48:1 :E
