Hi,

i can see that some of us are in mortal fear of v6 engines

v6 are engines that gives you faster response and more balances on the road. its like riding in motor heaven. with less stress you achive more response than the 4 cyc cars.

for good v6 cars the fuel consumtion is not near as bad as those of the old benz.

my take is if the v6 is in good condition there is nothing to fear. but if the v6 is old and rickety then you are in hot soup.

give it a good service and you would be glad you had a v6.

I've never been worried about owning a V-powered car.

Which is why I'm replacing the 2,6L V6 in my Audi A4 Quattro, and replacing it with a 4,2L V8, from a 1999 Audi S8.
I don't like I4 motors, besides a bit under powered, they don't provide the sort of soundtrack that appeals to true automobile enthusiasts.

A V8 at full chat however does.

I guess it all depends what we are looking for in a car.
A car to me is only transportation and not a statement. 
A decent 1.8L I4 engine ('06 corolla) is sufficient for going to and fro work and for travelling to the village about 4 times in a year.

dnt like it at all. the engine occupies the whole section in the bonnet, and the engine looks sealed-up to me, once done thats it! was watching some mechanic sweatin over just to adjust a radiator fan

its just 2 more cylinders(spark plugs ) than your regular 4 cyl. Tight space but a knowledgable mechanic should know how to work in tight spaces

No such thing as a "sealed-up" engine.
Sounds like the excuses the average Nigerian mechanic gives, when the can't diagnose a fault.

The procedures for working on a V-engine may differ from that applied to an I4, but the principle behind both remains the same.
