IMO Negative, V6 = timing BELT. V6 = buried water pump. V6 = extra labor cost. V6 = Less than stellar gas mileage.
The 4 cylinder Ecotec is more than enough of an engine for Florida.
Alldata will show you TSB and Recall titles, details you pay for.
The ecotec 2.2 liter in the VUE 4 cyl is also great and very reliable and will give you plenty of hp, especially if in use in flat land as in FL. Manual trans will yield better performance with the Sport II suspension.
2006 4cyl auto models have done away with the old VTI belt transmissions (2005 and older) and gone to a variation of a newer hydromatic type auto trans, which is more reliable, faster and quieter.Hope that helps, I know it's alot. marx404
