Is there a big difference in a 2.5 24v and a 3.0 24v as i have the oppertunity of a `98 3.0 elite should i make the change? thanks
-
normally with the 3's you get a few more toys than in the 2.5's, the 3's are a bit better at munching those motorway miles and the extra power gives better acceleration.
