Isn't this section titled 'Car Talk' or something?

MS3 / M6V6 (350lbs heavier)
manual / automatic
263HP / 272HP (same 280lbs-ft torque)
direct injection / NO direct injection
0-60mph 6.1s / 6.1s
5-60mph 7.0s / 6.3s
18/25mpg 18/27mpg
EPA$ fuel 2714$ / 2514$
both has the same CO2 emissions

Isn't a 4-cyl. turbo supposed to be more efficient? No surprise that Acura decided to go with a V6 in the RDX 2013.

Very mature of you Who cares? If you won't talk about cars, this isn't the right forum for you. Now that you made your usual nonsense noise, go away.

here we go with more efficiency.

I am gonna say M3 is a better car, why would you choose anything else besides one because it's the most everything.

Nobody mentioned about being better. It is only about being efficient.

Now imagine the Mazda 2.3T in the Mazda6. It would be likely to perform worse than the V6 3.7 in both acceleration, fuel cost and economy.

Acura RDX switch to a V6 is another great example.

Mazda 2.3T + AWD + Mazda6 = Mazdaspeed6, dumb ass.

It's amazing how you are incorrect in everything you say. How did you live 44 years like that?

Behave, little boy.

JI am just in time with the right data or you.

2006 MS6 AWD
5-60mph 6.9s
17/23mpg EPA $ 3000$

Is that supposed to be a good example of a 4-cyl. turbo efficiency?

I've been on this forum for a long time.

I know for a fact that there are only a handful of total ignorant jerks on this forum.

And you happen to be in that list.

Congrats dude.

Here is a challenge for ya.

This is a car forum.
This is a Car Talk section.

Yet you are not able to talk about car once, just your typical smart-ass remarks.

I'll save you a few steps. My engine is not efficient. And the car has all the defaults you can imagine. The 3-series is worst car of the world.

Happy, boy?
