They got some interesting videos on many different topics based on cars so maybe you should check it out.
I think that’s a bed idea because cars use more fuel and break down faster.
I have never seen a Donut Media’s video before.
I think it's brilliant. It allows to decrease fuel consumption and nowadays no more significant difference between cars and SUVs and you can see how it changing car industry today - Luxury brands as Rolls Roys and Lamborgini engineering SUVs. GM, Crisler, and Ford dimensioning their sedans…
I did. I saw a few of their videos before. I like the content which they making and topics, but I don’t like how they present this information, so not following this channel...
Maybe.
I don't know.
No.
Unfortunately, I'm not a fan of cars, so it's hard to answer two first topics. I have my driven license since 2014, but I have driven only 5 different vehicles since then. I haven't had any idea if any of them had a turbocharger or not.
There must be a reason that people decided to downsize the engines, so there must be a rising behind this. But what is that? I have no clue.
Nowadays these reduced engines turbocharged ones can easily overtake V8 cars. Mounting smaller engines is also a procedure reducing the mass of vehicles which results in better results on the roads.
I didn't see him before, but it seems cool.
So when it comes to downsized engines i have mixed feelings while "new" 2016 Ford lineup with Raptor and Mustang refresh proves that V6 can pull off a lot of power and torque, its not really the same feeling as having naturally aspirated V8 or V12 under the hood.
When it comes to Donut Media ive never heard about it before and ive never watched any of their videos before this one.
"Honda Accord Turbo 97".
- I think the cars engines have Eco and turbo system it will be a useful and great choice because nowadays cars engines market has infinite features for choice.
- I have never heard about "Donut Media" before.
Of course I have driven turbocharged cars as turbocharger is present in almost every diesel engine nowadays. But I really love cars with petrol engines equipped with turbocharger (e.g.: 1.8 T from VAG) as it feels completely different than in diesel engines and gives you a lot of joy while driving it.
I know that downsizing is driven by environment protection regulations and helps to reduce emissions of e.g.: carbon dioxide and other pollutions. However, as a petrolhead, I really hate the engine downsizing trend as it has caused engines to be very fragile, less powerful and make you feel like you are driving lawnmower :).
I think that automobile companies going in the right way. What ordinary user need from a car? And most people will answer - reduce fuel consumption. That’s what a new downsized engines giving them. So, in my opinion, new downsized turbocharged engines are perfect for universal driver and also for me and my daily driver. But of course, if I think about a ‘dream’ car - I think about naturally aspirated v12 or v10 :)
No, I have never seen a Donut Media' video before, but I’m watching a lot of similar shows.
2. I think that it is not good idea. Government shouldn't have be so much greedy with their taxes for fuel and we should have cars with bigger engines because they are more resistant which makes them more ecologically than cars with small engines which can be destroyed after 100000 km.
3. I have never seen a Donut Media video before but I am glad that I had an occasion to watch it. ;)
Yes I have because I own one :)
2. What do you think about today downsized engines?
I like the idea of downsizing engines but not too much. It's more ecological and newer technologies reduce the use of a gasoline. On the other hand too small engine in bigger cars can cause problems. I've heard that Vovlo reduced their engines in all car, also in their biggest SUV's. Supposedly these were some problems connected with this.
3. Have you ever seen a Donut Media' video before?
No, this is the first one I've watched but I will definetly watch more.
