Got into it with the 1.0 engine and I'll admit, part of me was skeptical at first, cos I've driven bigger blocks most of my life, so dropping into a tiny turbo three cylinder felt like a gamble lol, but after a week behind the wheel, I kind of get it, but I'm also wondering if it will actually be durable enough, dont want to turn this thing into a pocket rocket, but I'd like to know if it's something I can trust to stick around without falling apart on me
Any thoughts?
 
I get why you were skeptical about the tiny turbo three-cylinder, but if youre not beating it up and keep up with maintenance, it should be reliable. Its not really built to be a wild pocket rocket, so as long as you treat it right, it'll stick around without falling apart.=
 
Regular oil changes and letting it warm up before pushing it hard really help. Some have hit over 150,000 km with no major issues. What model are you driving?
