There’s a ton of stupid takes here:

This might be an interesting article, but I will never know because I would not click through a slideshow written by Jesus, never mind whoever you think you are.

Oh child, complaining about 197hp. Try a mighty 135hp out of the 3.8l lump under the hood of my folks not much lighter (but FAR more terrible) ‘85 Olds 98. Also with 4spd autotragic, with comically tall gearing to boot.

If you’re not interested in rotary engines then why would you buy an rx8. They’re unreliable, sure, but buzzy and gutless? That also describes the s2000 but people will fangirl over that car until the end of time.

Two of the GM greats on this list, but the absolute piece of shit GM 3.6 not on the list? List fail.

I don’t understand the LS1 post. Sure it doesn’t rev super high, it doesn’t rev super fast because it’s got a decent size flywheel, but more torque than hp is definitely not “no torque” and 350 lb/ft is not slow. My 2004 Corvette is very comfortable at low RPM cruising in 6th, because it’s a very tall top gear it’s…

Cimmaron used the Iron Duke. 

The Lucerne always offered the 275hp Northstar

I put 400,000 miles on a second generation Prius, most of it at 78 MPH on the hiway, with NO REPAIRS.  You published nonsense about an incredible vehicle.  

These comparos are not as bad and inaccurate as MotorBiscuit but they’re going downhill, so you’re getting there! I’ve owned at least two of the vehicles in this list - with their subject engines - and had no issues or complaints. Had a Maxima at the same time I got the ‘94 Explorer and there were no complaints. Most…

I'm also sick of being pending approval for fucking ever.

“and with all of the reliability of your methed-out ex-brother-in-law promising to make his child support payments.”

My 1988 Pontiac Trans Am GTA with the 350 TPI “corvette” engine. While a nice looking car, what a piece of junk. I’ve had AMC Gremlins and Ford Pintos, Jeeps, this car was my worst. Intake manifold leaks, water pumps and alternators. I drove 800 miles to visit my brother and would go though 3 alternators and several…

#11: Title says 2.0 Turbo, text says non-turbo i.e. the old 2.Slow.

No rover v8?

You must have forgotten the Mercedes Benz OM642 in the 2007-2012 GL350.

The 5.0 HO Windsor V8 was a candidate for this list?

I suppose relative to the owners experience it was the worst but it sounds like he got a well abused example if it was only able to rev to 3000 rpm, the oil sending unit would break and the cats rattled.

This is the same engine with over 100k on the clock and people…

Counterpoint: Have you ever tried to find an intermittent electrical gremlin in a system with lots of cable and wire connections?  

#11 says the 2.0 Turbo, but the description is about the non-turbo version.  Completely agree the non-turbo is an absolute dog.

I call 100% BS on the account of the 2.5 Chrysler. Did he order one off Wish? I’ve been around a thousand of those engines and it’s variants. I could rebuild one in a drunken stupor and it would last until the sun burns out. They didn’t make a ton of power but the torque of even an N/A 2.5 isn’t terrible. I drove a…
