I have to haul mulch 1x per year so a 3 cylinder is for the homos. I ended up financing a duramax for 108 months. Should handle mulch no problem.
Same here
I also have to trailer my zero turn to get maintenance once a year so my f250 is worth it

Your username has me wondering what your other car is.

When I saw the title I thought you were talking about the old Geo Metro.
I watched a Geo Metro win a time trial event at a drag strip... dude had his time nailed down to .02 of a second
He won against a rental minivan from enterprise
You'd have to think that the baws with 800hp firebird were pissed, but ol boy had his shite dialed in

Same as a short dick, maybe okay around the house but not worth a damn on long trip.

Drove a co-worker's Geo Metro once, 55hp 1.0L 3-banger.

I’m sure i would.
Probably gets good gas mileage and gets from point a to b

Just traded a V6 jeep for the new 2.0L 4cyl turbo hurricane. It’s better. The get up is wild for a mom-Mobile

Low key one of the funniest posts I've read on tiger droppings in a while. Kudos to you bro!

Got a 1.5 3 cylinder ford escape in 2024.
Gets an average of 37 MPG. I am 30 miles from work, so I burn a gallon to and from work.

Toyota Corolla GR for the win. 1.6L, 300 HP, AWD rally car for the street.

I have a 2026 Buick Envista with the 3cyl Turbo. Ample power and great fuel mileage.(35+mpg)
No issues with these vehicles and an Envista with the Avenier package is 30-32k.

Those Buicks catch my eye everytime I see them in the parking lot. Big and small Buick SUVs.

Don't know about the Chevy, but the Nissan 3 cyl. is a giant POS waiting to fall apart. Stay far, far away.
Suspect any other 3 cyl. is an underpowered overworked POS also.

Those are poor people cars and this is the OT. We’re all rich here.

Not going to win a race, but these are good affordable cars. You can get a well equipped Trax in the low 20’s.

We’ve got 3 and 4 cylinder engines more powerful than some V-8’s from a few decades ago. The only question is of long term reliability.
How reliable were those V8s a few decades ago?

I’ve driven a Toyota Echo.

Honestly? Pass! Those tiny turbo engines are working overtime just to move a basic crossover. Sure, fuel economy looks great on paper, but long-term reliability and high-mileage stress on a 3-cylinder are huge red flags in my book.
