... on tap, (which I use on a regular basis), is pretty good going. I know not everyone is a fan of the trend towards putting turbocharged 4 cylinder engines into sportier cars, but personally I like the balance they can deliver between performance and economy - kind of the best of both worlds really.

... FUCK, HOW?! I'm still perk up when an engine is making more than 100bhp per litre. I think one of the least-shouty examples are the Ford Ecoboost engines - they're fucking tiny - I mean physically tiny - and they act just like, well, a normal car engine. I mean - just look at it: 3t908YJRebw

... that hybrid sports cars like that NSX will become a bit undesirable compared to a pure i.c. contemporary. People will either want cars with i.c. engines because they have souls and make a loud sound or they'll want newer electric ones because they'll probably be faster and cheaper to run.

They're pretty good cars, and produced before diesel engines had a lot of the shit bolted to them that can go expensively wrong. There are still loads of Mark IV Golfs on the road running perfectly well, so I'd expect the Bora to be solid. The 130bhp ...

Almost everything post 90s fiat Punto engines are interference. Meaning if the belt snaps your engine is lunched, even I would say it's worth getting done.
