Q: Who makes the best 4 cyl engines?

A: : I would have said Honda, among mainstreamers, but the upgraded 4-cyl in the latest CR-V is quite a disappointment. The Hyundai-Kia 2.4-liter four has been surprisingly good as used in SUVs. Ford and Toyota have some contenders. Seems to depend as much on the specific model as on the company.
