Water is good to use in a car engine for a couple of reasons:

1) To clean the engine out

2) If it's a water-cooled car engine, it's good to use so you don't over-heat and destroy the engine.

Please be aware that today's modern engines are made out of aluminum, these engines require the exact mixture of coolant and water required in the owners manual or serious corrosion will occur.
