Thanks. I haven't been able to find a "review" with the v6 engine.



I haven't encountered many good V6 engines, I'm not really sure why but
they seem to be much less robust than inline 6's, perhaps it's the
compact shape?

I'm partial to turbocharged inline-4s myself but they're a lot less common.

Of course domestic cars tend to kinda self destruct around 10 years or
100K miles anyway so as long as you plan on replacing it before then you
probably won't run into big problems with the major systems.


Not sure about the V6 engines but most of the inline 6's were
long-stroke torque engines.
It's been awhile since I wrenched for a living so it's probably
different now.
