    You know they should hold off on those engineering awards until they know how the engine runs over the long haul. They are all good when they are new. :skep:

    Best carbon limp mode DI engine ever!

    They all look good on paper but the truth comes out over time.

    FYI-

    Chevy 350 cu was and is still the best V8 ever.

    The 1.6-litre turbo unit engine of the year will end up being the 1.6-litre debacle of the decade :crazy:

    Nein! There is nothing defective about your power steering fan... I mean engine mount... I mean Midlands.... I mean CVT.... I mean air conditioning compressor.... I mean timing chain tensioner... I mean direct injection... NOTHING. Take your talk of defects and go home. And buy another quality MINI product. Because it is required of you.
