lol there's nothing wrong with the 12v, it's just small.
Just because it's a small engine, doesn't mean to say it's made out of tin cans
Your right just because its a small engine doesnt mean its crap, however the 12v is. Its a seriously shocking engine and all it ever seems to do is chug.
Well you must have got a shitter or something, both mine and Fonz's are fine.
And if you're on about a lumpy idle, that is normal, having 3 cylinders. I had a similar sized engine Yaris courtesy car, 3 cylinder, 12v. That also had lumpy idle. You could just feel it less because the car is better built.
12v's are slow, yes. A rubbish engine? I wouldn't say so.
My 12v has almost 56k on the clock and its never broken down or given me any probs.
