Generally for men, the smaller the engine, the larger endowment one is given in the southern regions.

Scooter delivery guys are something to behold at the jjimjilbang.

I remember in college having this old beater.  A sable that was 3 liter engine and 6 cylinder.  Now that thing had power!  6 cylinder rare here except in the most expensive vehicles.

Rich kids and their cars in college. Must've been nice.  I had to walk or take the Montreal Metro. 

The Sable's cousin, the Taurus when it first came out had some limited edition models that had big power so that the Taurus would get a good reputation.  However, later models didn't have that same kick.  At least that was what my friend told me when he had one during our summer of being student painters (rip off).

Out in the maritimes no Metro and terrible public bus service.  Had to drive no choice.  Only my later college years and quickly fell apart afterwards.  Relatives handed me down old cars for dirt cheap.  Except for that I was dirt poor man. 

That's what I figured.  I had read it keeps some of the engines hot air and recycled it for some power.  But I wouldn't think it would be much good.  Seems to be a trend though in many newer cars.  It is a trend I want to avoid.  Since I drive automatics, I figured that 2000 cc or 2.0 liter engines would be the minimum I'd want. 

Basically a turbo forces hot air into the engine but it puts tremendous strain on that size engine, heck even on bigger engines it does. Turbos are for those who have plenty of bucks and can replace their cars regularly. My first Toyota, 16V twin cam had 500,000 km on the clock when I left SA and it was still going like a new car.  Wonderful engine.

if you want a fast, powerful car,  don't buy deisel or LPG.  especially LPG. I have the 2.7L Tuscani V6 turbo.  they can be found very cheap since most people are after the early model genesis coupe now.  Mine is a manual transmission and i have yet to see one of the genesis coupe's in a V6 manual.  Mine is a dream to drive, but new tires are way more expensive than I wanted to spend.

If you are only driving around town, then there is nothing faster than a 125 scooter.  skip to the front of all lights. your trip is half the time as a car for the same distance.

That's not true of modern turbos. The problem with them is that most manufacturers recommend you use premium gas with them.

Seems like many of the older cars especially prior to 2020 have larger engines and many car companies are making them with smaller engines with these turbo boost nonsense from what I can tell.

I was just curious about it, but I am becoming convinced this eco turbo boost is no good. 

My cousin in Canada was driving a Subaru and swears by them but even the newer ones are switching to this too.  Though their engines are still larger.  But seems they switched a 3.6 l engine for a 2.4 liter turbo. 

subaru's are fantastic.  I learned on my Dad's WRX when i was 16-17. amazing fun in the winter. however,  when something needs repairing under the hood, expect an insane bill.  the engines are horizontally opposed so everything is crammed in super tight. just to replace sparkkplugs becomes a hundreds of dollars job. they retain their value forever. chix diggit

Ouch!  My cousin loves his.  Drives all over Alberta and BC with his.  But maybe he still has the 3.6 L engine. 

It's a shaggin wagon.

... for a Ford F250, even though the size isn’t an issue with this truck (at least not being too small), it doesn’t mean it isn’t one of the worst cars to work on... you need to remove some parts before reaching the parts you need to get to. The part that needs removing? The entire cab from the frame! This alone will cost you many hours in labor from a mechanic,...

When i turned 19 i marched into a bank for a loan to buy a (used) car. My dad had warned me against Renault, saying you had to take the motor out to replace a sparkplug! (I dunno which model).

I was determined to get a car on my 19th birthday because my best friend got a Ford Mustang when he turned 16 (my students in awe at the fact that where I was from 16 year olds could drive by themselves, 14 year olds with an adult alongside, and alone at age 12 (as long as within one km of home: a farm equipment law).

I bought in 1988 a 4-year-old Toyota Corolla, a blue two-door "cute" (everyone said) small car, with a tiny stick-shift motor, with a reputation then for quality. I took two years to pay it off and four years later i only had paid for a motor-mount problem.

The Korando I've driven 100,000+ km on in Korea in the last 13 years has required only minor expenses (minus the turbo equipment function i abandoned in year 2 after two expensive repairs).

Today is Christmas Eve. Ten minutes from now I will pick up my vehicle with two new rear end tires, the old spare and old right front tire were never replaced. Now, all four tires on the road are since 2017. (When i asked my mechanic last week how many new tires i needed, he said one, and i pointed at the spare he had rotated out before, and then he said two, so we'll dump those two, rotate into spare one, and add two new today. Excuse me. I gotta go get it.

Merry Christmas! :) Drive safely. And choose to not drive in inclement weather.

1.6L turbocharged more than does the job. If diesel, you’ll fill up your tank for less and less frequently.

3L will give you insane torque and acceleration…which you will fcuking feel in your guts (Kia K7, Hyundai Genesis). Fun drives, but fuel tanks not so fun on the wallet.
