the v6 in NOT sub par, in fact its proving to be much better than the 4 cyl over time, the HP rating is low so not to infringe on the Areo spec
it more like 220 hp, much smoother and gets as good gas milage I get 22.5 around town and 30+ highway. there are no sludge failures that I have herd on this site. very few head gasket problems un like the 4 cyl.
the weak link is the timing belt (must be changed at 60k along with tensioners I also had my turbo fail at 50k perhaps due to cheap non-syn
oil? I now oil run Mobil 1.
you can tune them there is many adds on like cat back exhaust a EUC upgrade and open air filter kit you can gain 30 Hp or more
test drive both than deside, both have there share of problems but are fun to drive
