Wanna be sure if buying a car with a V6 engine is safe or I should opt for something else. Please share your experience using a V6 car engine. Thanks.

I used an Infinity QX4 some years back and swore never to drive a V6 again. The ride consumes an average of N1700/day for a distance of 50KM and it was frustrating, expect the consumption to go as high as N2000 when the plugs are bad or any other engine issue. Eventually sold it for 700k and had to give myself a treat and gave testimony for God's deliverance.

If u drive 80percent of d time in city sincerely u dnt need a v6 engine. But if u r always driving on highway go for it u will need d speed

Readonee35L:

That your qx4 must be abused am very sure you never even scanned the ride, who knows if all ur o2sensors are bad or even if the catalyst is missing

lomomike:

No, QX4 are guzzlers. I've used one before mine was a 2001 QX4... It was a guzzler with an abysmal 14 MPG city, 15MPG combined and 18MPG highway. If I drove in city traffic, I'll end up spending about 3,000 to get her up to half tank again.

OP, i used a V6 car in my university days, it was a hell for me considering maintenance cost and fuel, well!!



Advantage

- the ride is sweet and can easily pick and fast, can easily escape with it cos its faster than 4plugs cars.

-if its still very new, no shaking, just go for it, you will enjoy it but be ready



Disaadvantage
if you are buying a V6 car, ensure its a very clean one with a little milaege
the older it get , the more fuel it consume, it will drain your pocket then finish you..lol

you can not manage

you can not ring the engine in-case you have problem with the rings,
when you are broke, just switch to taxi,,lol

its dangerous because of the excessive speed, don't make mistake or drink while driving, you must be extra careful, thou, all V6 are equipped with ABS, Automatic Break System

no matter the mileage your car is packing, maintenance is the key to enjoying it. I bought a car with 300,000km a year after, am still enjoying every bit of it after adding 12,000km my self no delay or issues.

define your excessive speed, I can do 100km/hr and remove my hands from the steering or even bend down and wear my shoes though my eyes never leaves the road and I only do that without traffic on either sides though dangerous but what the heck live life well and enjoy every moment of it

@op if traffic wasn't an issue in lagos I did just buy a VW phaeton with VV12 engine and enjoy the acceleration, handling and the luxury that comes with it and laught at the TURBOCHARGED wanna be speedsters. I know the worst mpg it will give will be highway but with traffic, V8 upwards is a no no for me

islandmoon:

Bros, with a VV12? or V12? are you a snail? 100KMPH is a normal slow and stead pace on the road, i dont do less that 120KMPH and my mode normal mode is 140KMPH with a MERC Compressor this is because a compressor gives you one nice sound and conserve fuel on high gear, just keep it stead in that mode!

I believe Nurey meant W12.

Regardless of whether an I4 motor is running forced induction (turbocharged or supercharged) it's no V6 or V8. A V8 will also sound better than any I4. A Kompressed I4 making 300hp is very different from a V6 / V8 making 280.

However, when comparing an I4 to a V6, it all depends on engine capacity. A 2.5 inline 4 will be more efficient than a 2.5 V6, the I4 will be quicker too. The V6 will have more internal friction to overcome.

A better 6 cylinder engine would be an inline 6, with BMW being the benchmark worldwide for the smoothest I6 motor.

I think the smoothest 6 cylinder engine is the flat 6.

Turbo fuel stratified injection or TFSI combines petrol direct injection with turbocharging.

Compared with conventional naturally aspirated V6 engines, a turbocharged direct-injection four-cylinder engine delivering the same performance uses 10 to 15 percent less fuel.

FSI technology and turbocharging make an excellent combination because the evaporation of fuel directly within the combustion chamber in FSI engines removes heat from the intake air. This allows a higher compression, significantly improving engine efficiency. It also solves an old problem in all turbocharged engines – a high tendency to knock at high boost levels.

The integrated turbocharger exhaust manifold module ensures optimum turbine efficiency, resulting in excellent utilisation of the exhaust energy. This achieves both a high power output and optimum engine responsiveness, ultimately helping to reduce fuel consumption and exhaust emissions.

Even a Caterpillar won't gulp N1,700 fuel daily, your fuel filter, nozzle and fuel pump were clogged with dirts without you noticing it.
