Welcome to the forum :y

Nothing wrong with the 4 pots, quite a number of us have them and are quite satisfied.

depends what your looking for.

4 pots (2.2 / 2.0) are a little underpowered for their size, with just me in it (being only 10 stone) it goes fine!  :D

Put some passengers in and it bogs down a bit  :(

4pots are easier to work on, reliable engines, very duarable, can be negalected and still run fine.

V6's are smoother, and a 2.5/2.6 will be about the same on fuel as the 2.2.

I hope to trade up to a 2.6 manual at some point  :y

And it would have to be mint, which it's not if it's got a scratch on the boot.
