Hey guys i dont have the full understanding of car mechanics but is the seize of the motor equali to longer life ? For instance im looking for a honda. Some of them have a 1,0 motor seize then does it mean its not good to use for work (140km) a day, everyday or im wrong ?
which of these would you reccmond for someone who travels 87 miles a day and wants something for 3-4 years? And please can you explain so i get the understanding please? thanks in advance.
Gasoline:
Well yes larger engines last longer they're under less strain and of course if you get a well made diesel diesel engines can last a really long time if they are well made
Which cars in the link can you recommend ? And which motors can you recommend then i find cars that have them
Which diesel engines are you referring to?
@LMW Scotty does not respond to follow up questions.
Stick to these petrol engines from your list (I picked engines, not the actual ad) -

In Europe, if you’re considering reliable diesels, stick to VW diesels for best longevity.
All the best!
But these Arent good for long term trip 140km a day , it will Cost a fortune. What about this car ?

I don’t have experience with Mazda diesels, sorry. And what I’ve read online doesn’t inspire any confidence in them, either. Maybe @g-t or @dan knows more about them.
If I had to choose between a Mazda diesel or a Honda diesel, I’d pick the Honda diesel out of the two. 140kms a day on petrol would hurt the wallet, agreed. Check out the diesel Civic for best fuel efficiency figures.
Tanks for ylur answer. Well i have been looking for honda civics but the problem is that they only have 1,6 its not a big engine if you can feel me? I Mean a trip on 140km a day would exhaust the engine i think so i thought a 1,8 mazda is better . Or am i wrong ?
These are the civics i have been lookibg for

They’re both extremely low mileage examples & should have no problem running 140km daily. I’ve seen VW 1.6L diesels going strong past 300,000 kms, so I don’t think smaller engines are at a significant disadvantage in small sedans/hatches. Be sure to have the car inspected thoroughly by your trusted mechanic, before purchase.
Yeah of course thank you very much ❤. But rly I would rather buy the mazda xD dont know why I will make a tonic abojt it Hope its ok .
No problem at all! Go right ahead & post a new question about the Mazda diesel.
A lot (not all, some were good) of Mazda diesels have a very poor reputation, they kept modernizing their ancient designs and ended up with a monstrosity.
I’d avoid them entirely, even if you get a model that’s good I’m not sure how many people know how to maintain and fix them correctly.
(although Mazda petrols are awesome)
The Mazda MZR-CD was the worst Mazda diesel. It is reliable until it breaks and then no one on earth will be able to figure out what’s wrong (super duper complex)
Personally I do not have much experience with diesel, where I live almost all cars are petrol - but I herd Volvo diesels are great (just avoid the dual clutch transmissions)
So the mazda petrol is actually good?
How long do you plan to have that Mazda? That generation came out in 2019, the engine in 2018. I don't know if there are already any problems but I personally avoid brand new car technologies because they are not proven to be OK.
Well for 4 or 5 years
Does it bother you having a guinea pig car?
What do you Mean
When a new model/generation/engine ... comes out, no one knows what issues is it going to have. Those get revealed when people use cars and factory starts implement perfection after a year or two or maybe more. Older generations/engines are more perfected and won't have problems earlier ones have. I personally prefer last two years of a generation since they seem to be the most perfected.
Yes but which models are you referring to then?
Any model. In your case, I'd rather take a look at a year or two older model than the one in link. But since you prefer diesels, I advise you to consider what @inthrustwetrust and @dan wrote.
