I have always wondered why 3 cylinder engines haven't become more common. It's my understanding that a 3 cylinder engine is smoother because of the balanced firing order, like an inline-6. Large 4 cylinder engines (Porsche, Mitsubishi, etc..) have had to use balance shafts to correct this issue.
As for Exitwound's comments: why do you care what other people want or think that they need in terms of perfromance? I can't understand peoples' motivation to dictate what someone else should do.
