The fuel mileage really bucks around 16 mpg city . On the highway I average about 26.5 average over the past 170K . The car is still strong @280K , and I am on my 3rd set of brakes and going on 3rd exhaust system , but that is the high mileage song in the salt zone .
The biggest problem is the catalytic converters sold aftermarket don,t work , so be cautious in an Emissions Test area .
The pulling power of the v6 cannot be compared to the 2.3 . I pull a 1500lb plus trailer without any problem up some of the longest grades in the West ! The v6 has one of the widest powerbands of any vehicle I've driven , esp between 60-90 MPH ! Smooth ! Then I slow down ...
I am always wary of low mileage cars , never had one ! Good Luck !
The v6 has no sludge issue as the 99-03 2.3's had .
There are also fewer v6 parts cars , another real world fact .
