The inline six is fantastic, and it handles great.Just becareful with the damn air-bag sensors, these include the seat mat, the satellite unit under the seat, etc.. If someone puts a bottle of water underneath the car seat, and water leaked, you'll be looking at RM1000++ for the satellite.Of course, you don't have to replace it, but you'll get the annoying airbag light on the dash. In addition, there are a few cables there attached to airbag sensors that need to be tied down.Oh, when moving, do not put a huge TV on your front passenger seat. There is a thin layer of wire-mat embedded inside the seat, if you screw that up, you'll need to replace it too <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
