Million dollar argument…

Dude~~

Hybrid car oso msian paranoid edi takut maintenance and the battery replacment will cost a bomb and resale value sucks etc2….

What more full ev car?

kancil, kancil!

dun leave out kancil the most famous of all for noise and whatnot! 

tbh...kancil manual is one fun car to drive with...

If Full EV car coming in, Petronas will kill the manufacture for sure...  to protect our oren kito.

i own a few 3 pot cars before and never had any noise related to the belt.
sure there noise everywhere when idling or at low rpm but tat comes with the territory of  owning a 3 pot car.

could be the problem is unique to you or you got better hearing than most 
anyway i agree 4 pot engines is the way to go for comfort.
if anyone has driven an inline 6 before they would know its even much, much smoother.

and yeah turbo maintenance is non existent here.
seal and bearings need to be replaced.

many do no know a turbocharger spins in excess of 100k rpm thus will wear and tear faster than other parts of the car.

but if engine breakdown like that then it's design/manufacturing issues. My kelisa 3 cylinder engine never had problems like that for 19 years now.

3 cylinder 1.5 liter actually makes sense because 500cc undersquare combustion chambers are the most efficient in fuel consumption. Pity the market didn't like

If Full EV car coming in, Petronas will kill the manufacture for sure...  to protect our oren kito.

this time agreed, 4 cylinders > 3 cylinders. Less to take care of the vibration thingy

v6 > all

V8 and v10 rules

V12 is diminished returns

I watch x50 car review. It is said they put up to 30-40 extra components to reduce the higher vibration. Man that sound like a nightmare to replace when the car is at 6-9 years old. Even the typical mounting amd bushing set for a normal 4 pot car also most of us already goyang/worried of the cost…

even Alphard/ Velfire balancing shaft kiok after certain km.

3 cyl, 4 cyl... what are those? what difference do they make?

work as a foreman b4 for short amount of time(uncle's workshop), sometimes it doesnt really design's problem, like sometimes some ppl wash car, they wash engine, and they screw themselves up, sometimes ppl just itchy backside, DIY this and that, replace spark plug cable, replace spark plug. sometimes its hardware issue, like engine oil go into cylinder, spark plug distributor problem ... so it might not be design problem, low quality product also create problems.
