Ahhh, 2.5V6 - I wouldn't bother with that one, if I were you.

OK, you get the lovely V6 sound, but the performance isn't any better
than a 2lt TSpark, due to the extra weight of the V6 engine. [1]

This might also explain the insurance quote - I find quotes for the 3lt
V6 are a tad on the high side.

Not loading for me :-(

[1] The 75 TSpark has the same power/weight ratio as a 156 V6 24v, ffs!
