New vehicles with a turbo.
New vehicles with start stop technology.

Granted. Diesel engines with a turbo have been around for a long time.

Now, though, many gasoline engines vehicles are being marketed with a turbo.
Some are smaller engines to increase speed and gas mileage.

Some mechanics, young and old, state not to buy a new car with a turbo. As the turbo places more pressure on these smaller engines. Cause more heat. Heat being the enemy of any engine. Plus the potential added cost if a turbo ever breaks.

Yet others state that the manufacturers have engineered these new engines with turbos to last a very long time.

Then there is start stop vehicles. The engine shuts down at every stop light, stop sign. Some state that this puts more wear on the starter motor and more wear on the engine. Others state that the manufacturers have made these starter motors and engines stronger to withstand such.

The Class Action lawsuit has been closed for the Honda CR-V with smaller engine and a turbo.

What do the Lakes Region automotive owners think about the turbo gas engines and this new start stop technology?
