Why is no one commenting on the longevity of these engines?
1000cc small blocks? long term high revving? 1000+kg heavy bodies built for larger engines?, Sri Lankan roads? hopefully atleast 100,000 km?
Also noting they cost quite a sum of money in Sri Lankan context whereas in other countries Cost POV depreciation is eminent and resale is not a concern and may even be considered disposable? Whereas in Sri Lanka you can still go buy a house SOmewhere! for 7mil
These are not 1000cc kei cars we talking about!
Note : CH-R / 185 Nm Torque is not a big value my friend for something that large designed for a Western market, considering tiny A70 Lancers and 80s Corollas had near 150Nm torque when new.
The small engine is not even offered in certain Western markets
