I'm sure Mazda made a 1.8 V6 which was used in the MX3.

Never owned one, but can't imagine it being a bad sound - anything over 4cyl usually is imo.

2.0 KV6 in the Rover 75 sounds good! Very smooth sound.

Any version of Fiats "FIRE" series of engines, especially in 16v forms.

Common in 1.2 and 1.4 forms, very throaty growl and peaky wail smile Old Punto's and stuff had them IE: Punto 1.2 sporting.
