Was there a better engine put into a relatively modern production car than this?>Literally bulletproof, basic maintenance will get 500,000 miles+ out of it.>2001-2005 models have no DPF, and even 2005-2009 models with the DPF are still extremely reliable>Easy to work on>Fuel efficient, 0-60 in around 8 seconds and 57 MPG on the highway>More than powerful enough for 99% of users, with between 163 to 185 BHP
hmm

>>28768120>yes, all of Honda's H, F and K series enginesSure they are buddy, do they get 57 MPG in a large sedan?
>>28766530I have a fantasy about converting a D5 XC70 into a hybrid. 100+ mpg easy, I bet. Ultimate cross country crooz machine.
>>28768152They did a V60 D6 Hybrid though, which was the 2.4 D5 with a plug in electric motor
>>28768167But the V60 is a homogay nu-volvo
>>28768136I had a V70 D5 and I never saw 57mpg. You must drive like a snail
>>28766530VW 1.9 TDI blocks your path
>>28766530Most engines will do stupid miles if you baby them and keep up with maintenance. A great engine will take abuse and still do stupid miles. This is something yurotards will never understand.

>>28766530my 2005 2.5 T has already 310k kilometers, still impeccable motor and I drive it like a maniac. I only care about putting a good oil in it and tanking always 98+, since its turbo hates lower octanes.The car has not lost a bit of performance but because I often drive 160-220 km/h (sometimes 250+) my average consumption is kinda bad (10-11 liters per 100 km)
>>28771875My understanding is that the T5s run pretty rich to help with cooling, so the fuel efficiency in general is a little worse than you'd expect from a smallish turbo engine.
