It's kind of hard to explain, but the more Cylinders the bigger the engine. A V8 engine will have 8 cylinders, 6 for a 6 cyl., etc. All the way down to 4 cyl. cars, which will give you the best gas mileage, and the less amount of power. It all depends what type of driving you most will be doing. If it's for commuting to work for most of it's use, you might want to consider the smaller cylinder engines. Once on the highway, these cars keep up well with the rest of the flow of traffic.
Good luck finding the correct vehicle.....
Could be 4, 6 or 8 cylinder.
a 4 cylinder car is not a gas saver
12v in cars. Can be 24v in lorrys. 6v cars were phased out in the 50's.
Most cars have the first cylinder opposite the gear box. French cars are generally the exception. It is in the front of your car.
Theyre pretty good!
The cylinder capacity.
On most 6 cylinder cars the fireing order would be 153624 On 4 cylinder cars the most used is 1342
A 2 cylinder engine is faster then a 4. it produces more combustion.
There are now not many cars in the United States that are made with a 3 cylinder engine. A couple of the vehicles that were once made with a 3 cylinder engine is a Geo Metro and Dihatsu Charade.
The Smart cars have three cylinder engines, as did some Geo cars.
Sports cars come with almost any size engine from a small 4 cylinder to a large V12. Examples are the Mazda Miata which has a 4 cylinder and then the Chevrolet Corvette which has a V8. Both of these cars are true sports cars.
Varies between cars and engines.
