I’ve owned a good many cars including 3&5 series BMWs. Looking at 6 cylinder engines, IMO Honda makes the best. The Honda/Acura V6s just rip all the way to the redline. BMW and Nissan would be my next choice, both have made great 6s over the years.

I’ll concur on the Nissan. I owned an ‘85 300ZX before the Miata. That VG30E sounded really nice under full throttle!

Nissan may make a great engine but their engineering sucks otherwise.I have a 2003 Nissan Frontier pickup truck and the gas tank had to be replaced twice at my expense because the Nissan dealer wouldn’t honor the recall.

On top of that a power steering fluid leak and an Air conditioning hose that just happened to fail following a visit for service at that same Nissan dealer.

That’s it for me and Nissan.If I buy a new vehicle it’s going to be a Ford.Nissan,Well they just suck loads.Just lousy engineering.

the 4.0L V6 in my 4Runner has gobs of torque. It just pulls hard even towing a heavily loaded boat trailer. Pulls 3500lbs like its not even there.

A great truck engine.
