Character

A28NET 2.8T V6

"Insignia OPC. Same GM HFV6 turbo as Saab 2.8T. Timing chain stretch notorious (chain at rear of engine). Turbo failure. Oil consumption. Expensive to maintain. Great power but fragile long-term."

X10XE/Z10XE 1.0

"Corsa B/C, Agila. 3-cylinder. Simple, fuel efficient. Head gasket can weep at high mileage. Timing chain. Low power but cheap and reliable city car engine."
