    flat 4 is over complicated for what it is, and the subaru one isnt all that reliable and they had to go to a 2.5 litre to keep up performance wise.

    flat 4s are limited by capacity, so its always going to be a small engine compared to a 6litre V12 aston or a 8litre V10 dodge...

    No doubt, multi cylinders sounds the tits but not all straight 4s sound poo.

    It has to be said, 4cyl engines do sound crap, especially compared to 8, 10, and 12 cylinders. I'm not really a fan of 6's and 4's, but can make an exception for 5's, as the off beat burble gives them a different twist. Listen to an Audi Quattro SWB and you'll see what I mean - best sounding low capacity engine with less than 8 cylinders.

    Have to agree, the 350 sounds immense with a nice set of pipes.
