Very handily, on DBW V6s, there's no mucking about with a paperclip for reading codes - you can just hold both pedals and turn the key.

Aye, one of the last mechanical throttles before they replaced the engines with 100cc bigger DBW ones. :y

Depends what you consider 'best'  ;) ;)

Some owners like the clatter of a diesel, some are concious of insurance etc Then some like the wallow of an Elite's suspension while others like the MV6 with an extra pedal  :y :y :y
