Never driven a v6, personally i'd rather a glsi for the wolf in sheeps clothing effect. Although the lack of toys would piss me off.
24v is the best option, they're always on ebay with a few minor niggles for under £1500.
Only if there not looked after.
My first engine done 130,000
I run a 2.0 DOHC Turbo Technics 200+bhp 15,000 miles most of it around 6250rpm
