Re: Claim's Cabbies Corner. Kill crazy rampage imminent.

My uncle had a 2.2 omega auto and replaced that with a 2.6mv6. The V6 was better on fuel than the 2.2,pretty much same issue we had with our old w210 estate. 2.0 4 pot averaged less than 20 mpg yet the V6 could do into the 20s.

I briefly owned a predator and nearly bought a senda but not sure if being talked out of it was a good or bad idea.
