The only engines that have real character have two cylinders or less. After that they just sound fussy......Until you get to twelve  |

Hi All,
Dont want to P155 on your crisps BUT...........The VW 1.4 twin turbo jobby also won best in its class. It was described by a motoring journalist as being as refined as a man on crutches, falling down the stairs.........
The PSA/Mini engine features too.......see 207oc for turbo issues....
Its a bit like the adverts telling you.....voted best car 2008 in January.
We know the engine is great.............thats we we own one!!!

Don't worry, I am a realist, and treat these awards with consideration as you never know who is on the judging panel. Anyway, gives the car bigwigs a night out to enjoy themselves! But still think the engine is very compact, well designed and pushing more power than some 4 cylinder units. |

In 2007, the honour in the Sub 1-litre category at the International Engine of the Year Awards goes to the Toyota 1-litre three-cylinder petrol engine found in the Aygo/Citroën C1/Peugeot 107 triplets, plus the Yaris/Echo/Vitz. ...except it was originally a Daihatsu unit... |
