2.2 4cyl = piece of poo, not really enough power to shift the weight of the car + its occupants, the V6 is a great enigne very smooth reliable doesn't mind a rev and is good on fuel and super quiet, the four cylinder will end up being not much more efficient because you will be accelerating harder and revving it more to get the same performance anyway, the V6's are cheap as chips anyway even a touring with better suspension and features are cheap as.
I tink in 2000 not exactly sure the modelk was updated it has different head and tail light designs the later tail lights are alot fatter and have circles the earlier ones 97-99 are thin. The later ones are a lot nicer to look at but not really a major concern.
We have a touring and in the time we have had it 2 years one front wheel bearing has gone but replaced under warranty much to the delight of the dealer who was looking to get some money out of us but then realised they'd have to do the work and we wouldn't pay a cent.
Other than that our aerial died it stopped coming up it would jam and make horrible noises once again fixed under warranty.
Nothing else has gone wrong or though the air con vents get pretty smelly.
ABS triggers fairly early in the camray's other than that the accelator is like a block of wood very stiff the cltuch on the other hand is very light and the brakes lack feel, the touring is very well insualted from noise although on the freeway their is a touch of windnoise that makes it way in.
It is a good honest car great family hack and a good ride, gearbox is a little notchy but the touring has quite short throws which is good, you can be tagging the limiter and barely hear the engine it's that quiet although it doesn't have too much down low, launch the car quick off the line will see it race to about 30 kmph then hit 4krpm and then the wheels will start to spin.
Just drive one for yourself
