Generally speaking, these can be the best choice for you too, depending on what you’re going to do with the car after all. The purpose of your car is always at the centre of your driving, so keep that in mind. These smaller engine cars are often the perfect thing for short commutes and long-lasting fuel (with economical driving). They’re typically the cheapest option too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pros<\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n- Perfect for Short distances<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Great Fuel Economy<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Cons<\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n- Smaller Cars<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Less Power<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Medium Engines<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Taking things up a notch, this is where the mid-range cars\ncome in. these aren’t usually powerhouses, but they are often a great middle of\nthe road choice. These are things like 1.6 & 1.8 litre engines. You\u2019re\nlooking ta more power already, but more cots too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With a larger engines size, there are a few things you still\nneed to remember here too. There\u2019s a reason these aren\u2019t often peoples first\ncars after al. the insurance on them is likely going to be a little more than\nbefore. With extra power comes extra responsibility after all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pros<\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n- Perfect for Mid-Range Driving<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Economical and Comfortable<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Cons<\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n- Pricier<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- May still be smaller<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Large Engines<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
You probably already saw this one coming, but on the final\nend of the scale is the larger engine cars, and these are things seriously\nvague if you don’t know what you’re looking for. They can be anything 2 Litre\nplus, and that includes everything from your executive or luxury cars like larger\nMercedes and Audis through to Landrovers and 4x4s, and then even all the way\ninto the sportier categories. That\u2019s a huge range of cars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The benefits of these cars speak for themselves. They are\nalmost always going to be much more powerful than anything else on the list,\nbut that, of course, comes with them being the most expensive on the list. With\nthat being said, they\u2019re usually the most sought after (and probably the most\nenjoyable drive to). That all comes down to preference and the type of car you\ngo for. Getting an executive-level business car is going to be better for\ncommuting 50 miles to work every day or travelling for meetings, whereas a\nPorsche may be a little faster. You get the idea. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pros<\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n- Comfier<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- More powerful<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

Turbo Engines<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
One huge factor of engine sizes that can apply to any of\nthese categories is turbocharging technology, and that’s something we need to talk\nabout before we go onto the next level of car engines. The application of a\nturbo engine can be a complete game-changer to any of the categories and can\nadd more power to cars without needing to be larger engines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Anything from a 1Litre engine to a 4Litre engine can be\nturbocharged, and it immediately adds way more power to the vehicle. That means\nthat even with a smaller car, you don\u2019t always have to sacrifice speed or power\n(like with hot hatches). Don\u2019t forget to add that into your decision!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pros<\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n- Power<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Economy<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Cons<\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n- Insurance <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Electric<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Taking things away from petrol and diesel engines that cover all of the engine sizes we\u2019ve looked at, there\u2019s another huge up and coming engine type too, and that changes the concept of engine sizes entirely. Electric motors take things in the complete opposite direction. The power of these cars comes from a whole new form of fuel, which is battery-powered electricity<\/a>. (see visual layout for electric car components<\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\nThe benefits of these machines speak for themselves. An electric motor, of course, uses no fuel, which is the biggest selling point. It\u2019s better for the environment and better for your fuel economy<\/a> (after you get passed the typically higher price tag). It may be a little more inconvenient to find a charging point, but new innovations are coming out all the time to make these better and better for your car choice. They are still complex machines though, and like all cars, they can still have trouble. Keep that in mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\nPros<\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n- Economical<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Powerful<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Cons<\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n- Can be inconvenient<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Potentially less power<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Hybrids<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Finally, before we take this any further, let’s look at\nanother game-changer that is a lot like turbocharging. Things aren\u2019t always as\nblack and white as picking the right engine size. Hybrid technology is probably\nthe best example of that, even if they are complicated machines (and there can\nbe more to go wrong).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When you add all of the benefits of an electric motor to the\nbenefits of a medium engine like most hybrids do, you really can get the best\nof both worlds. Usually, they are self-charging from the electric side of things,\nand then the lower fuel usage protects you there too. It\u2019s a win-win without\nmuch more price either.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pros<\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n- Economy<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Combines all other benefits<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Cons<\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n- New<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Costly<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Things to remember: Fuel, comfort, power, purpose, price<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
With all of that said and done, the rest is up to you. Always remember what you need the car to do before you weight in the engine size. Remember the economy, the cost, the comfort, the power and the price. All of these things reflect differently on each other, and we all have different needs. When buying a used car take your time, inspect everything, and when in doubt, get a professional\u00a0pre purchase car inspection<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(see visual layout for electric car components<\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\nThe benefits of these machines speak for themselves. An electric motor, of course, uses no fuel, which is the biggest selling point. It\u2019s better for the environment and better for your fuel economy<\/a> (after you get passed the typically higher price tag). It may be a little more inconvenient to find a charging point, but new innovations are coming out all the time to make these better and better for your car choice. They are still complex machines though, and like all cars, they can still have trouble. Keep that in mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\nPros<\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n- Economical<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Powerful<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

Hybrids<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Finally, before we take this any further, let’s look at\nanother game-changer that is a lot like turbocharging. Things aren\u2019t always as\nblack and white as picking the right engine size. Hybrid technology is probably\nthe best example of that, even if they are complicated machines (and there can\nbe more to go wrong).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When you add all of the benefits of an electric motor to the\nbenefits of a medium engine like most hybrids do, you really can get the best\nof both worlds. Usually, they are self-charging from the electric side of things,\nand then the lower fuel usage protects you there too. It\u2019s a win-win without\nmuch more price either.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cons<\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n- New<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Costly<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Things to remember: Fuel, comfort, power, purpose, price<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
With all of that said and done, the rest is up to you. Always remember what you need the car to do before you weight in the engine size. Remember the economy, the cost, the comfort, the power and the price. All of these things reflect differently on each other, and we all have different needs. When buying a used car take your time, inspect everything, and when in doubt, get a professional\u00a0pre purchase car inspection<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Turbo Engines<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
One huge factor of engine sizes that can apply to any of\nthese categories is turbocharging technology, and that’s something we need to talk\nabout before we go onto the next level of car engines. The application of a\nturbo engine can be a complete game-changer to any of the categories and can\nadd more power to cars without needing to be larger engines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Anything from a 1Litre engine to a 4Litre engine can be\nturbocharged, and it immediately adds way more power to the vehicle. That means\nthat even with a smaller car, you don\u2019t always have to sacrifice speed or power\n(like with hot hatches). Don\u2019t forget to add that into your decision!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pros<\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n- Power<\/li>\n\n\n\n
