Just reminiscing about how much better the 3 cylinders I've been in recently sound than 4s. The one that stands out to me most was the 1.0 TSI in the T-Cross I had in Germany last year compared to the 1.5 in my Taos. They are the same engine family, slightly different displacement/cylinder but mostly just 1 less cylinder for the 1.0.
The 1.0 sounds way better than the 4, it just has a nice growl and the 4 just is bleh.
