I've seen this trend over the last few weeks that is completely over my head. I'm seeing this uptick in people saying to avoid turbo charged, smaller car engines in favor of larger, naturally aspirated engines.
I don't understand why.
I understand the additional problems a vehicle can run into if a turbo goes out, how it adds more moving parts, etc, but I can't seem to figure out why now? Every diesel engine is turbo charged, most car companies are offering a turbo charged vehicle in some shape or form, I even drive a turbo 4-banger and love it. So where has this hate come all of a sudden? Is there really any true merit to these comments, or is it all based on a ton of personal preferences?
