Hey guys,im thinking of buying hyundai i20 2020 t-gdi 1000cc 100hp.Do you think this small engine is gonna be alright with all this pressure?
Looking at initial specs you have seemed to pick the smallest engine option. Out of curiosity why? If you are asking for build quality in general, then Hyundai has gotten considerably better through the years. Not projecting, just the trend this far. I'm not too sure what you mean by pressure though. I mean it's an L3. That alone to me warrants some red flags. But if you are strictly talking pressure, it's not like the cylinders are all of a sudden gonna burst at full load. It's still an engine that had been sent into production. Time will tell I guess.

Hey,thanks for answer.Well i want it with gasoline so the only option is this or without turbo 1200cc 85hp.I was pretty confident i wanted this car but then i watched some kilmers videos talkin about how direct injection and turbo is not that good for new small engines and it kinda scared me(not a mechanic just a guy that wants a car without problems here)
Gotcha haha, yeah L3 engines in the past had plenty of vibration issues as well as some issues of running a bit rough. Hopefully Hyundai has adr seed these concerns. I think that the 4 cylinder naturally aspirated will still be the better buy in this case as it has been around for a longer time period and stuck around. Less HP but if it's a daily it doesn't matter. The mpg will also be the same more or less L3 or 4 cylinder. Even if it is direct injection. The problem most common with direct injection is carbon buildup after a while. If the car is taken care of then that would just become a regular maintenance thing after a while as it didn't need to be worried about for a while and most of the time a simple cleaning will do. My mom's Golf TSI is a 4 cylinder direct injection turbo and had no issues to date (120k miles) I mean besides oil seals but that's a vw thing haha. But she also babies the car and uses premium fuel for the purpose of more additives, therefore less need to clean since the gas would pretty much do it for you.
