Yeah, there's room for a V6, but no room to work on it. I did plugs and wires on the one I bought (someone's grandma's car) and it was a huge headache. Plus the huge 3.4L engine is just 170hp so it's not much more "go" than the 4. On the one I had gas mileage varied wildly with weather, we saw about 12L/100km in the winter and 8L/100km in the summer for the same commute. Fortunately an '05 9-5 Aero sedan became available after I had the Alero for about 6 mo so I didn't suffer long. My Alero also suffered from air leaks (cold in the winter) no winter traction whatsoever (it came with brand new no-name all-seasons on it) and smelled like squirrels whenever it got warm out (as they had been living under the hood).
