Personally think the duratec is superb, but probably biased.

The red top vauxhall is the big swinging dick of certain circles where they put them into Corsas and so on, outside of that very small niche they are just an unremarkable powerplant from a slightly warm 90s repmobile.

Whatever is in the VXR is just another boring turbocharged 4 pot. It has no particular character and is no better or worse than countless other such engines.
