2004 Solara 2.4L vs V6

Postby kingkakyle » Mon Aug 10, 2009 3:38 pm

i would have to say for city driving its better to have the v6
u need to much power to get the heavy ass of the gen 2 to move
i got almost the same mileage as the 04 highlander( 3mz) citywise

as far as highway, the 4cyl will def be much better sinec ur just cruising and not using much of ur power

Ya very jealous, you know with being 17 i only have tapes, but i heard you can put the music on these shiny UFO shaped thingys, but you have to have some type of special machine to do it. anyone know how? as much as i love the roar of my injen SRI, im getting a little bored of it, and without a tape player i have no idea what to do!

Gen 1's have the 2.2L 135-138hp (5S-FE), the Gen1.5 has the same 4banger that comes in the Gen2, a 2.4L (2AZ-FE).
