To begin with, it is not derived from the Opel V6 but from the Vauxhall V6. It is a newer Brit based design than the 4 which also has Brit roots. The V6 has 9% more torque at 2000rpm, 11% more at 3000rpm, 11% more at 4000rpm, and 13% more at 5000rpm, for very little more money. I have never heard or seen any negative comments about the engine, either on this board or elsewhere, from anyone who actually owns one. There occasionally are strident comments from owners of 4 bangers. Why the owners of 4 bangers like to be negative about everything else, I am not sure. The 4 banger is a goog engine and so is the 6. Both are rugged, reliable engines. I should not hesitate to buy whichever suits your needs best.
