This engine has a great reputation. I think they have built them for over 10 years. I don't remember if they are all aluminum or not. My sister bought one new about 8 years ago. She likes everything but the gas mileage. She did go from a Miata to a full size car though.

It is (so the salesman said) a 6 cylinder with the cylinders offset only 15 degrees and all under a common head. It was made to fit the same space as the four cylinder. My first thought on seeing it was "hey, why aren't there any of these in an airplane"? My second thought was " what the hell does my daughter need with a car with 160 mph on the speedometer" !!!!!!!!!
