Post by trikeboiler » Sun May 07, 2023 12:59 pm

Hi all can anyone give me a quick run down on the pro,s and cons of the v6 petrol or the 2 ltr petrol. Like the mpg, power, reliability etc, don't want a diesel already got one, thanks

The V6 has much better power level and is also very quiet, MpG as you would expect is a bit less 20ish around town and 26+ on the Motorway, ideal for towing or simply ambling around.
The 2l most people find a little underpowered, MpG is better than the V6 usually 25ish around town and 28+ Motorway if not thrashed! Climbing hills with a full load will be slow!

The 2ltr is a simpler engine (no need to bleed the cooling system), but the V6 ain't half nice. 8)
