When they were new, not so much. No faster than the 4 cylinder LPT, no cheaper than the 2.3 HOT, using more fuel than either, unavailable with manual shift, and not particularly smooth for a V-6 due to its odd bank angle.
As a used car, by this time, the difference in price is negligible, the V-6 doesn't have much in the way of sludge problems, and so long as the timing belt, associated pulleys, and water pump maintenance is up to date the engine has proven quite reliable.
