Pros:
- V6 performance with I4 fuel economy
- Lighter weight engine = better balance car = better handling
Cons:
- Turbo lag , although this is better each new generation
- Rougher running / idle and sound
- Slightly Worst emmissions due to slow catalytic converter warm-up. The turbo acts as a heat sink for the exhaust heat that otherwise warms up the converter more quickly
The premimum fuel one is questionable since many performance V6 engines, such as Nissan 3.5, also require premium fuel
