Try test driving a Subaru WRX and you'll see a 4 cyl with SOME get up and go ! People used to say the same thing about 8 cyl. vs 6 cyl. engines until Buick introduced the Regal GNX. So, "never say never". 4 cyl. engines have come a long way, and will go a lot further in the future with the new Gov't.

With all due respect, RIT333, let's compare apples to apples.RIT333 said:Try test driving a Subaru WRX and you'll see a 4 cyl with SOME get up and go !

I had a buddy who had one of those or something similar. It was a Subaru and he put a TON of aftermarket into it, I'd guess $10k easy. It was quick as hell, but the whining got a little old (or was that from the fart can on the back) Anyhow while it was really quick, it was a little too "ricer" for me. I know 4cyl's have been or are getting better, but part of my issue is that I won't drive something that small or light. I don't need an Excursion but my cut off is at least a mid size or larger. I'm on the road too much to feel safe in anything smaller. My dad has an Accord with a 4, it's fair I liked his Accord with the 6 much better.RIT333 said:Try test driving a Subaru WRX and you'll see a 4 cyl with SOME get up and go !
