TBH i have worded that wrong, i have driven cars with customers consent to check things before i hand it back, this is mainly due to a workshop that couldnt fix things, and me getting a bollocking from the customer because of it, so once they have finsihed it, ive driven it so i can say 100% to the customer it is fixed (as a service advisor)
jr if you drove my car after it was in for a service id punch you in the nose
thanks

A proper V6 with more than 12deg cylinder angle would sound better.

None at all , but VR6s (12deg) don't sound as good as Vauxhall V6s (60deg).

There is no way a Vauxhall V6 sounds as good as a VR6 They dont sound half as mean.
VR6 with an induction kit and aftermarket exhaust sounds bloody fantastic!
