2) More fuel-efficient
3) Lighter engine

Inline 6
1) faster after 90+
2) Better sounding engine?
3) Smoother feel?

Taking into consideration the I6 costs at least 5k more, practicially speaking and on paper, the V4 looks better to me. Am I missing something?
See what you've done COBodom?

Welcome to the forum, Swack. Sorry to mix you up in this, but you might be interested in knowing that the engine in your car is an inline 4, not a V4. I don't mean to give you a hard time, but it's an important distinction
