V6, V8, V12 offers better performance
A little bit more fuel consumption is experienced in these cars
But fuel consumption basically is controlled by the way we drive, the condition of the car, high way drive Vs inside city drive, and a whole lot more.....

Mostly because v6 are more cumbersome to repair than the i4s. The entire engine bay area is full with little to no space: this directly translates to high cost of repair for V6 engines. Consider a case of removing the spark plugs, for an i4 it ABC job but for a V6 to get where the plugs are is real work...

This is the best technical answer, rest are just not the real reasons.

Recent cars with V6 engines fuel injection are electronically configured with sensors parameters. If your car sensors are good enough then your driving habit is what you should check for better fuel consumption. V6 means more power

An average Nigerian doesn't even read they believe in what others say and place their judgment on that. Ask any bike man Toyota or Honda he will scream Toyota even without knowing anything about the two cars.

An average Nigerian is too lazy to discern for himself

Re: Why Are Most Nigerians Scared Of V6 Cars? Truth you must know by David50: 9:52pm On Oct 29, 2020
My last car was a GS300 i6 Lexus


I currently drive a camry v6.2009.

I can honestly say I get better fuel economy than most of my friends with 4 cylinders. And the driving power is unimaginable especially when travelling.

From popular comments it is true that working on V6 engines is alot more painstaking than 4 cylinders due to compactness of the engine bay. But trust me, if u maintain ur car well, you will rarely have to go around the engine for much... and when you do it is one-off for a prolonged period of time.
V6 engines are lot quiter and last a lot longer. Even at 300,000km on the odometer, a v6 engine will still maintain that clean smooth sound compared to the 4 cylinder.

Anyone gunning for this has my blessing. You wont regret it. Fuel will be the last thing you'll think about. And when others are talking about their engines wearing out, you'll laugh because yours is just getting warmed up.
Only embibe basic meticulous care, and you'll be fine

I said V12. V12 is two i6's, W12 is two Vr6. Only VAG uses a W12.
