Colour is colour, and up to you.
As for fragile and needing deep pockets? Well once you've done the cambelts and waterpump, replaced the o rings on the t stat and tied the large coolant pipes together to stop them moving around that's it - no worse than any other.
Unless of course you're talking about economy, in which case its no worse than a 1.8 turbo.
Best of all you can stick an lpg kit on it
1800 turbo definitely better on fuel then V6 and more interesting to drive. Plenty of torque throughout the rev range unlike V6 and for a couple of hundred, it can be remapped to 200bhp which would all over a V6.
