Yup.. I may have been a tad harsh ;-) They are lovely and inherently smooth engines with a completely linear torque/power curve. That's what bores me after 3 of them, I don't like trashy buzzy engines either, but it's kinda nice to feel a motor get "on the cam" or punch you in the kidneys at a certain RPM... That does not happen on those, they are smooth as glass throughout. Some might construe this as sophisticated, some as boring. Just a warning to drive and see if you like it, I meant that especially in the context of the OP's experience with the old 2002 4 cyl. Completely different animal. Ditto on reverse, my wife had to use 2 hands !!!
