Context: I drive a 15+ year old SUV, and I am no longer in the position to just replace everything should anything bad happen. So sadly I will have to buy a newer car at some point. Hopefully not anytime soon 🤞🏼🤞🏼 But, I noticed when shopping with other people that newer cars sound weird. My knowledge of car troubleshooting is little more than sounds good/sounds bad, looks good/looks bad, smells good/smells bad, feels good/feels bad.

So, how are newer cars supposed to sound?

    Cringe comment but I agree with the sentiment. My grandfather just bought a BMW crossover with a 2.0 I4 that sounds like completely dogshit.

      Ooof don’t mistake intent… It’s difficult over text. Rattly ass 4 cylinder isn’t a term I coined. Some sound good, some sound bad, modern engines are stifled and amazing all at the same time. Mainstream appliance 4 cylinder are designed for fuel and emissions
