Looking for another LWB Vitara, and spotted a decent looking 95 model with the 2.0L V6.

Anyone care to comment on this motor vs the 1.6L 4 cylinder that currently sits in my 93 model? Pros, cons, general opinions appreciated.

anyone? Need to make a decision soon...

don't know too much technical about them, but my dad has one of these cars with approx 280,000 on it's orginal engine.
Its still doesn't use a drop of oil, pulls well and is a smooth little revver. Think it revs cleaner than the 2.5 in the GF's GV.

have heard they are fussy with oils as they small oil galleries in the heads that gets blocked with gunge if oil isn't changed often enough. run 15w 40 in dads, and it seems ok.

they are a wider track than the SE vits, so they deal with the wheel furrows on the highways a lot better than the earlier vits.
Off road expect that the LWB will be a lot less capable in stock trim than the swb.
