You know it is too bad that everybody jumps on the hear-say bandwagon about this motor when we haven't heard from anyone who has actual experience, ie. driving, owning, riding in, etc. a good car with this motor package. weather RK buys this car or not dosen't matter but I will tell you that I have owned this car for the past year plus and haven't had a single problem with the motor. It has more bottom & top end than my buddies 2.5 suburu in the same car. I personally have driven both. Todd
