I'm with you, Tom. I'm very happy with the four-cylinder. We'll also
save on spark plugs, plug wires, coils, etc. And I don't think the V-6
will beat me off the line. It might beat me after 30 MPH, but the 4
pulls pretty good off the line if I rev it enough! If you compare the
performance numbers (I posted a link to them some time ago), the V-6 has
a very minor performance advantage over the four. I'm guessing the
extra weight it carries and different gearing probably account for most
of it.

Wow, that sounds great. Now I wish I had that setup!!! Maybe we did make
some progress in the last 50 years! Unfortunately, my 54 Chevy got 20 miles
per gallon and look how far we progressed in the area. ( That old car
weighed 3250 pounds, too. Sad Sad Sad.

Re: 2006 Sonata oil filter
Yea, Matt, I'm happy with the performance side of my 4 banger. Actually,
162 horses out of a 4 is pretty darn good. No complaints so far except a
sticking drivers side outside door handle that doesn't close all the way.
They'll replace it at the next visit.

Bear in mind that those numbers were for the LX model as I recall. The GLS
V6 is significantly lighter than the LX, but a bit heavier than the GL-4.
With my traction control off, I have done a few 6.5 sec. 0-60 unofficial
runs. While I agree that it would be close to 30 MPH, I would be ahead and
pulling away. With that said, the 4 has my respect compared to other 4's
of the same class.

Bear in mind that those numbers were for the LX model as I recall. The GLS
V6 is significantly lighter than the LX, but a bit heavier than the GL-4.
With my traction control off, I have done a few 6.5 sec. 0-60 unofficial
runs. While I agree that it would be close to 30 MPH, I would be ahead and
pulling away. With that said, the 4 has my respect compared to other 4's
of the same class.

I have the same problem with my door handle. Guess I'll mention it on my
next visit to the dealer. It didn't annoy me enough so far to think of it
when I was there. But it does seem to be happening more often.

I dunno... Can you have 3 cylinders shut down and it keep running?
On the 2.7 you can
Of course that only happens on the occasion a cam jumps time (ouch), or
somebody forgets to plug the 'rear bank' of fuel injectors back in
