999cm3 vs. 1248cm3 displacement?

Does it make a significant difference whether you have a 999cc engine like the Skoda Fabia or a 1248cc engine like the Hyundai i20? The tax savings would be €40 per year for the Skoda. However, it's also said that a smaller engine size reduces the lifespan of the engine? But in this case, with only a 249cc difference, does it even make a big difference? Would you rather go for the Skoda Fabia with 95 hp or the Hyundai i20 with 75 hp?

Whether a motor lasts long or does not depend less on the engine space than on it

  • how it is designed constructively, eg
  • the dimensioning of the connecting rod bearings
  • the material selection
  • whether the control chain lasts long (if such is installed)
  • how strong the design of the Rotstift was

Small trolleys are subject to non-oriented trucks, eg recognizable that often the engine compartment is not even painted. He doesn't have to be, but in higher car classes, it would be a no-go, and it shows how strongly the red pencil reigns.

999cm3 vs. 1248cm3 Capacity?

The engine of the Hyundai runs much more round – not because it has more capacity, but because it has 4 instead of 3 cylinders. If one compares the suction motors, the Hyundai moves a little better than the Skoda, because it has more displacement. If a turbo engine is used for comparison (1.0 TSI, from 90 hp), the latter is better drawn through due to the “simulated displacement space” of a charging, while the disadvantage of running smoothness remains.

I believe that the three-cylinder has an advantage: it does not push like some four-cylinders. My Opel Corsa C 1.0 was a single shaking bud in idling, but my now Mercedes Vaneo is annoying at the speed of the highway with annoying drone frequencies that the deicylinder did not have.

Oh, new account again? A four-cylinder does not drone with compensating shafts

And Ducato, Boxer, Jumper, Movano, Master even if I know.

But why?? Is there a greater steering impact? This is considerably more difficult to repair because it is not easy to use spring tensioners as in spiral springs.

Yes

From left to right? The Sprinter and Iveco Daily also have transverse springs, but each one per side

A transverse leaf spring was still allowed for the first Smart at Mercedes.

OK.

I liked it, all so mechanical, zero electronics, not even a quarter clock. Gear rattled like broken, that was still from the Fiat Ritmo. And the rear axle was completely crazy, with QUERBLATTFEDER at the bottom, crossbar at the top

All a question of the design of the motor bearings.

If I hadn't thought, I would know my first generation of Ibiza with Porsche System four-cylinder engine that was anything but low-vibraion

Running low-vibration in idling, each medium-precision R4 gets down as long as it is not too large – especially as with such softly designed motor bearings. It becomes interesting from 4,000, as most R4 drone without waves.

Oh, really I was sure the one has a balancing shaft because it runs so extremely low vibration

The engine has no balancing shafts. Drive an Opel Z22 SE or a BMW M43B19. Both relatively large R4 with compensating waves, do not drone and fry.

However, the 1.4 TSI in the Golf 6, super quiet but at higher speeds it became a bit more difficult

Ever run an R4 with balancing waves? There's nothing to do with it.

MyBluesSteal

What do balancing waves have to do with the sound? I thought they were only used to suppress vibrations

The Skoda (usually with VW engine), as turbocharged. However, the Hyundai runs smoother.

The larger the engine capacity.

The service life of the engine lies only on the driver. Those who treat the car and thus the engine reasonably can also drive 300,000 km and more with a small 1-liter engine.

In this case, your first sentence does not apply.

No, you can't, because you have to step the 1-liter engine to get forward, at least if it's a suction engine

The 1.0 TSI is not a suction engine.

Definitely Hyundai
