2.0L vs. 2.7L engine worth the upgrade?

I test drove a Nautilus handled the snow like a champ! and then tried it again on clear roads. Loved the car overall, but the 2.0L felt kinda sluggish off the line and struggled a bit getting up to speed, revving higher than I expected. It's my only real worry, so I'm thinking about the 2.7L V6. But that's a pricey upgrade, so is the V6 (and the supposedly better transmission) really worth it? Anyone out there driven both and have any thoughts? Also, any general pros and cons about the Nautilus?
 
That snow test drive of the Nautilus sounds promising. The 2.0L engine;s slow start is a known issue if you're used to quicker cars. The 2.7L V6 is supposed to fix that with more power and a better transmission but it's a big price increase. If you want easy highway merging or towing the V6 is probably worth it. The Nautilus is comfortable and feels high-end inside, but the infotainment and rear visibility can be tricky. The good things are the comfortable ride and nice interior, the bad are the 2.0L's performance and maybe the tech. It really comes down to whether you're willing to pay more for the V6's extra power.
 
That is my sons dream car. But the 2.0L is a bit weak and I heard some reviews that the infotainment sucks! I am not sure why that is my sons preference. I might book a test drive for him and hopefully he’ll realize that there is a better car out there.
