I've never quite understood why the minimum size for a modern 4 cylinder, seems to be around 1.2L?
With the latest tread towards smaller engines with turbos, there's a lot of manufacturers coming out with 3-cylinder jobbies. It seems to me that's a big sacrifice, considering the loss of balance. Don't get me wrong, most of them are doing a great job to overcome the inherent problems. I'm just not sure I understand the need? In something like a Puma, it's not a question of space. And I'm not sure the cost savings would be worth it. It would be lighter, but it seems like there's a technological resistance. Perhaps beyond a certain point, making a 4-cyliner smaller just doesn't deliver the fuel savings??
