Hi,

I think the 4.6iS is ubber reliable  ............

The only down side to a 4.6 over a 4.4 or 4.8 as I remember was fuel consumption.

Its a personal choice , but I prefer the original style alloys the 4.6 came with , think they look better and dead easy to clean too.

Enjoy...........

Hi Nat,


Thanks for the message.

I originally proffered the original alloys however these are growing on me.!

Will keep them for the time being and see how I feel after a couple of months.
