The German Autobahn has no speed limit but you should not race on it! Obey the rules and respect other drivers. Driven by an experienced Driver

Driving wise this is much more fun than most 1.0l-1.2l turbos, revs cleanly to the limiter, instant response, quick going through short gears - very likeable. however you also have to drive it like that to get it going instead of relying on some torque in the middle revs. always cons and pros. shame they didnt make it a 2 liter like mazda, than it would have much better pickup down low.

[@Catchingcars]

absolutely correct!

[@pjrk9837]

indeed, 2 liter would be nice

[@senselessza1]

They do have a 2.0 N/A in some market. kzbin.info/www/bejne/n6bKaWSfitOencU

[@s.s.8302]

There is actually a beautiful 2.0 gasoline engine available with around 170 hp… But it is unfortunately not offered in the European market. It still exists in the North American and Australian markets, as far as I know.

[@Druze_Tito]

and then you'd ask for the 2.5L engine

[@hcavdar]

thanks

[@uscruiser]

It pulls good for 125 hp and without turbo

Moin, wird es bald ein Review zum BMW 330e geben?

[@alexdacruz10]

As a previous E12 SW owner, 1.4 vvti 97hp, I must say that this one feels slower. 3cyls definitely can use a turbo in my opinion,.. Nice video as always :)

[@kaloyancholakov3725]

This car has the same acceleration as the E12 1.4 and has more top speed :D

[@GustavoFritz-ru3oh]

Até que achei bom. Imaginem que aqui no Brasil existe a versão híbrida 1.8 cvt, que demora 14s para chegar aos 100kmh. Uma tartaruga.

[@sennaverstappen1]

hmm surprisingly lit for something big, heavy and without the help of turbo or electricity

لها نفس محرك ياريس 1.5 لكن ياريس لا تتعدى 190 لماذا ؟

[@ersinyazar1637]

Corolla sedan is made in Turkey. I like it😊

[@kaloyancholakov3725]

Almost 200 Km/h for this little engine is super overstress. I understand that this video is made for fun but I can bet that if one is driving such engine at max rpm all the time - this car would not last much because the stress he puts on the engine.

[@ballaki]

this is very popular car here.

[@Jantol93]

What is the benefit of having 3 cylinders instead of 4 in a 1.5L engine? I've only seen 3 cylinders up to 1.2L on everyday cars.

[@lordwiadro83]

There is no benefit. It's a horrible noisy and weak engine.

[@yusufmercan3494]

Emisyon...

[@lordwiadro83]

@@yusufmercan3494 Yeah, if they really wanted to reduce emissions, they would stop selling SUVs: big and inefficient vehicles. But no, they had to set upon compact cars. Hypocrisy at its finest.

[@s.s.8302]

I don’t have a direct answer to your question; but I believe that it has to do something with designing a family of engines from the brands’ perspective. I have a feeling that this 3-cyl. 1.5 lt. gasoline engine might be closely related to the 4-cyl. 2.0 lt. gasoline engine (just like the relationship between VW’s 1.4 TDI - 1.9 TDI engines).

[@ballaki]

Tink about audi may drive on speed limiter and corolla on full throttle.😂

[@joko1136]

I am wondering why an engine with 1.5 VVT with 125 PS goes only 190 km/h while an old Opel Vectra from the 90's with 1.6 engine and 75 PS goes 190 km/h.

[@istvan2562]

3 cyl

[@tescoshortage]

Aerodynamics. A 90s Vectra is far narrower and a little shorter than a modern Corolla is.

[@s.s.8302]

It’s most likely because of a speed limiter. In fact, even the technical data sheet specifically states 190 km/s as Vmax, both for the manual and the CVT. Still, I don’t really know why they needed a limiter. With this engine and transmission ratios, it looks like it could have hit ~210 km/s in 5th gear on a good day😄

[@lordwiadro83]

I just sold my Toyota some days ago. Couldn't stand this engine. It's weak and very noisy, and the whole car rattles on going uphill. Plus, there are other problems with this car. When you let it stand unused for a week, the battery dies and you cannot even open the car. What a garbage car.
