depends what your looking for.

4 pots (2.2 / 2.0) are a little underpowered for their size, with just me in it (being only 10 stone) it goes fine! Cheesy

Put some passengers in and it bogs down a bit Sad

4pots are easier to work on, reliable engines, very duarable, can be negalected and still run fine.

V6's are smoother, and a 2.5/2.6 will be about the same on fuel as the 2.2.

I hope to trade up to a 2.6 manual at some point Thumbs Up!

Do you break V6's as often as TheBoy? Then you need tunnie's towing services, recovery costs are just the humiliation of being towed by 2/3's of an engine
