Perodua 3 cylinder engine is from toyota / daihatsu

perodua....i mean toyota has a lot of 3 pot engine...they had it for a long time already
but it's for japan domestic use only
the reason they don't release it for foreign use is also because that's not how it is being used laugh.gif

Dude is from volvo, trusted that he know more about reliability and engine than you

dude from volvo but i'm pretty sure he don't even drive 1
i for 1 drive a modern 3 pot car for 9 years now
i know how reliable they can be(over a course of time)

if u learn from these new age modern car(starting 2010)...you'll found out these "engineer" know nuts about anything/car
they just keep putting electronics into it rclxub.gif

Typical toyota mindset... old tech = reliable = good

toyota actually possesses alot of 3 pot engine
but alot of which aren't for foreign market use
because that's not how it's being used

in japan, it's not being used to do high speed, highway, genting run, 0-100 time laugh.gif

I believe he know lot more about car then you, else you can apply to volvo for his job

i think if u ask a mechanic, they know more cars than these "engineer"
they will keep saying why these "engineers" keep adding electronics into the car, making the car more complex to be fix laugh.gif

and by adding more electronics and making them more complex makes it very unreliable
why?...electronics are very weather sensitive, they're not very good with water either
remember that recent X70 case that is only submerge rim deep...some lights on the dash already come on

Those complexities are what made it possible for car makers to lower emission, improve NVH etc.

Unfortunately the world has changed, car makers are business too so they responded to that change to survive.

Consumers largely don't seem to care about reliability beyond 5 years, they'll just change the whole car. So reliability seems to have taken a hit in return for better fc, safety, NVH, gadgets etc. Don't think even today's Toyota are as reliable as ones they made in 90s.

Take infotainment for eg. Seems a few motor journalists here also they'd complaint if it doesn't have Android Auto and Apple Carplay. Personally for me, I'd be fine with just Bluetooth, but when motor journalists put pressure on car makers to have AA & AC, then consumers respond by following their recommendation, then car makers will add that.

most of what u said is true
except customer nowadays don't care reliability beyond 5 years

u wanna prove it?
try shorten max loan term to 5 years, see what happen laugh.gif
these 3 pot engine doesn't last long, especially when u go and turbocharged it
the reason all those old car like GTR and supra are so popular lately has a connection to this case as well
