My personal opinion and plan (eventually) is to keep my 2.2 as a daily driver and get a 3.2 V6 as a toy/play thing  :y

If you are driving around town then the size of the Omega might be fun (getting parked and squeezing through gaps). Driving around town the mpg would be lousy anyway so I would go for an auto just to be lazy :)

Had 2.2 cdx manual for nearly 2 years. It is thirsty round town but very good on a run. Also it is not fast but adequate performance, (a lot quicker than our 1.6 Picasso from the traffic lights). It has been mega-reliable which is why I have kept it despite wishing sometimes that I had held out for a V6 as originally intended.

nothing wrong with the 4 pots, much much easier to work on.

V6 Thermoststat vs  4 pot?

V6 cam cover vs 4 pot? hummm again i know which one i would rather do..

Mines just about to crack 132k and has not missed a beat, get it up to 80 (ok takes 2 seconds longer), set on the cruise and it will stay there allllllll dayyy long.

We have a 3.0 and.... for my commute. I prefer the 2.2, engine is almost as smooth, but its much, much quieter in the cabin. The drone of the V6 can get annoying, 17's do seem to compromise the ride, does not crash about as much on 16's

2.2 automatic for me i think.opinions?
2.2 auto or manual its a big diffrend mpg?

Personally a 2.2 Auto wouldn't be an option in town... Too much weight and a slushmatic = very poor MPG!

The V6 won't be hugely better but I find I can get bearable figures if I read the road ahead and keep rolling :y :y
