I've been the happy owner of a three cylinder engined, four wheel drive vehicle since the mid-eighties. Top speed is a raging 8 mph, which isn't bad for a Massey-Ferguson 1020 tractor. The engine, if my memory doesn't fail me is a 19 hp diesel. Really enjoy your videos, Scotty.

We used to drive 36HP & 40HP Volkswagens, and we still managed to get around. You don't need 400HP all the time.

Scotty, if 7-11's are open 24 hours, why do they have locks on the doors?

"They have 3 cylinders"
"They're engines"

Learnt to drive in a 1.0 3 cylinder Suzuki swift back in the day, loved that thing

Scotty, you forgot about the Chevy Sprint, a 3-cyl compact built for Chevy by Suzuki back in the mid-1980s. A co-worker had one and used it as his daily driver. Worked great for him driving 50-60 miles per day on the Southern California freeways, I don't recall he had any problems with it in the 4 years we worked together. Also, Yamaha made a 3-cyl motorcycle with a 650cc engine back in the early 1980s. I had one and it was my 'daily driver'. Not fast by any measure, but very reliable and very easy to maintain, and no excess vibration from the 3-cyl engine.

Back when I was starting out I bought a brand new Metro for the grand sum of $6700.00. Air conditioning, power brakes, and nothing else. It was the hatchback, and I'll never forget my wife and I going on a 3 day 1st anniversary trip to the mountains. Round trip with the AC blowing...$20.00 in gas. 47 mpg and I still came home with nothing but less than a dollar change in my pocket.

But hey, young, dumb and great memories. My daughter was born 9 months later!

I drove that car for four years, sold it to my dad (he travelled a lot selling insurance) and he drove it for four more years, then sold it to a preacher who drove it a couple years and gave it to a woman who was broke and needed a car. She totaled it, but that 3 cylinder never gave any trouble and I only remember it being a great little motor. We changed the timing belt every 70, 000 miles per the manual and it just kept going.

Some of these modern 3 cylinder engines are really fun, they have a load of character with the extra noise they generate and they rarely feel too shy power-wise these days when they're put into small hatchbacks. Hard to dislike em.

I drove the new Renault Clio 3 cylinder manual/stick transmission, had it as a rental. It took some time understanding the car, as the dials light up and tell you to change/shift the gear up or down. The technology is changed, it gave smooth ride.

[c.v.d]

Hey Scotty I had a new 1986 Suzuki Forsa which was a 3 cylinder engine which was a very fuel efficient and good ride. I drove if for 330, 000 miles after 13 years.

The Ford three cylinder engines are good little motors. The Ford 125 1.0 is smooth and free revving and can pull even a Focus along at a good rate, even better in th Fiesta. When it first came out in 2011 I drove one in a Focus and could not believe how good it was despite being sceptical. The 1.5 three in th Fiesta ST is a great little motor too. It's quick and it sounds great too.

[alexspectre]

Im glad you don't hate the modern 3-cylinder engines. I was considering a 2019 Ford Fiesta ST.

My Mom just bought a 2021 Chevy Trailblazer with a 1.3 liter L3T turbo charged engine. I was super surprised with it's acceleration. 150 horsepower. We've come a long way that's for sure.

[fidelcatsro]

i thought he was going to say " im givin away one of these 3 cylinder cars" at the end of the video

As a Geo enthusiast I appreciate the correct facts on it, most people get the specs and manufactures wrong, thanks for putting out great content.

[alex.gen]

Hello form Craiova, Romania ! Maybe one of my neighbours assembled that engine.

[kieranJo]

3 cylinder engines are very underrated and as a motorcyclists love the character. Thanks Scotty hey insight

[thatguy]

My dad got 2 Geo metros for him and my sister. My sister got the 4 cylinder automatic sedan and my dad the 3 cylinder hatchback. The 3 cylinder seemd to accelerate slightly faster than the 4. Plus the mpg was better it was 50ish mpg and the 4 only got 29. I hated the 4 cylinder Geo's, moped's kept passing. Although it's hilarious to rev it in front of nicer cars like mustang's or a Corvette. You'll kill someone making them laugh so hard. Just make sure u have serious look on your face when u do it.
