Re: RE: 4-cylinder engine

Jakov...

That 4 cyl engine is a winner.  Cheaper to drive & cheaper to keep & imho a
better match for the smaller car than the 5 cyl.  BTW, the timing belt
wasn't an issue for the 1.8l but you're looking at a 2.0l which is no
longer a free wheeling engine when the belt breaks.  I've seen 3 timing
belt tensioners check out at about 100k. One of them took the belt & some
valves at the same time.  I think you'll like it.
