So the 3VZE (3.0L V6) motor apparently has a major issue with the PCV system. It will coat your entire internals with oil and cause you to fail emissions. The PCV valve is also a major pain to get to (have to remove upper plenum of intake manifold). Frequently these hoses are also cracked (from heat). Engine is underpowered in general, but the other reliability problems that are frequent (head gaskets letting go) make this vehicle not worth it.
