and of the few geo metro owners i've met, all of them were absolutely in love with the car and it's incredible gas mileage(many reported upwards of 100mi/gal). many only changed cars after repairs couldn't be done anymore.

actually it goes back further than that. the '48 Tucker had a steerable headlight, although it was a third light not the primary pair.

Nice!
I had a good friend that had a red hard top he drove for about 7 years. He is somewhere around 6'6" tall, with very broad shoulders (basically has a swimmer build). It was quite funny to watch him pour himself out of it.

I4s, I5s, and V6s need balance shafts too. This is a shit take. 3cylinders have been around for ages and are no less reliable than any other piston configuration. The Koenigsegg Gemera has a 600hp 3 cylinder. It will shit on any V8 bro car on the street. |

I prefer more cylinders.
The less cylinders you have, the more lawnmower it sounds |

I do. A sports car is about the entire experience, which includes the sound. A top end EV can outsprint an ICE supercar now, but without the pleasing engine and exhaust sound, it's not the same sporty experience. Impressive? Yes. But as fun? Not really.
There is a reason the older NA H6 Caymans are more popular than the newer turbo H4 718s, even though the turbo 4 is objectively more powerful and has quicker acceleration. The sound of the old high revving H6 is a big part of the experience of that car. It's not all about speed. |

I'm not sure anyone would really say an H6 is a desirable engine note. |
