I think MarinaBrian has summed it up quite nicely. Each engine is "the best" in it's own unique way and it really depends on your needs and expectations as to which you should choose. I have a 2.0 V6, which I love, however LeRich has just described it as:

Perhaps surprisingly, I agree with his comments regarding performance, however, as I am more than happy to "potter about" in my gentlemans club on wheels, I would re-arrange his words as: "The
best I would say is the 2.0V6 which, though slow and thirsty, is refined."
The thing is, we are both right from our own perspective. The V6 will go a bit with enough revs, but this in turn will make it even more thirsty. It's lovely and smooth though, and it surely has to be the nicest looking engine in the range (barring perhaps the V8). It's performance and economy really wouldn't suit everyone though, and I doubt that many members give a tinkers cuss how nice their engine looks
