Looking to buy a VX calais, mainly for comfort levels, Now my issue is what motor??
I travel 40kms a day (highway kms) so fuel efficiency is a bit of an issue, but also want
something with reasonable power both for towing (horse float) and fun times.
One major worry for me with a gen3 is all i hear about piston slap. I really dont want
to buy a car with a motor that makes a whole heap of nasty noises. I read that alot of
gen3s were fixed from factory? Is there a way to know if this has happened to certain cars?
Now the S/C v6, i dont know much about them.. reliable? surely better designed than the gen3?
fuel economy compared to the gen3 (highway)??
Obviously when looking for a gen 3 i need to be aware of piston slap, oil consumption and oil leaks,
but what are common probs with the super 6?
And while im at it, any reasons to aim for a series 2 over a series one (VX)??
Thanks in advance guys...
