Don't get me wrong, I love the I6 for its smoothness and longevity and torquiness that the ecotec can't match, but the power vs fuel economy vs reliabiliy vs low maintenance vs cheap mods, i'd have to say the Ecotec V6, April 1995 - August 2004.
It is crime against humanity that, 'THAT' engine was ever inflicted into any car. It is an abomination.
