I am thinking of getting the 2.4L but would like to know more about this engine. How long has it been around? How well does it work? Any issues?

It's part of GM's line of Ecotec engines and uses a "VVT"(Variable Valve Timing) system that's much like Honda's "Vtec". It produces around 175 BHP and will run in the 15.5-15.9 area(depending on driver)in the 1/4 mile with a 5-speed tranny in the 2 door model. It should also respond to modding nicely as well.

It just came out 3-4 months ago, but seems to be doing fine for it's owners so far. However, it is still too new to give you a whole lot of facts on reliability.

Hope this helps.
