Just my opinion...
My mother hasa 97 plymouth breeze, an AT car no less... love it.
I travel a LOT and quite often I am given Dodge stratus cars. I really like them for driving around too. Just 2.4L, but more than enough power, drive nice (to me), and when I use them on the highway a lot, Ive gotten 32+ MPG from them.
This time, while in San Francisco, I got a chrysler sebring. It seemed to me that it drank gas a bit faster, but I thought maybe they gave it to me with not quite a full tank or something. I assumed it had the 2.4L I4, and actually thought it was a bit pokey compared to how I feel the stratus cars ussually are.
Well, while filling up with gas today to prepare for its return tomorrow morning, I popped the hood and found that it has a 2.7L v6.
Besides being an accessibility headache for spark plugs and whatnot, I dont feel that it is better inany way as compared to their identical cars filled with 2.4L I4 engines.
Hyundai v6 sonatas (old model) havea lot better pull than these cars.
All the same, IMO, the 2.4L stratus is great. A much better engine than the 2.7L in this identical car. Suprising to me for sure...
IMO, nothing beatsa large I4 engine in a reasonably sized car. Even the 2.4L I4 in my father;s toyota previa pulls well and runs quite nice.
Just my opinion...
