My Favourite Sounding 4 Cylinder Engines
EDIT: Had to change the title as it seemed to be causing some confusion with some people. Just to clarify I do not think these car are the greatest sounding 4 pots of all time…they are simply a list of my personal favourites that I like the sound of
I thought I’d put together a little list of the cars that (in my opinion) has the best sounding stock 4 cylinder engines. It’s a tough category as most are turbocharged which can muffle the pure noise but there’s some good ones out there. I’m going to try to stick to fairly recent cars as well. There’s a few of these lists out there so I’ve tried to throw in a few oddball choices.
I might even turn this into a weekly blog covering 5 cylinder next week, 6 the week after that etc until we get to the big 12 cylinder toys.
So, in no particular order.
Like I said I’ve thrown some unusual choices in there just so it’s not the same as everyone else’s list that’s full of Subaru Boxers and high revving Honda’s. Not hating on them at all, I do like the sounds of those cars also but just thought I’d try and think outside of the box for my list.
Thanks for reading and let me know in the comments what your favourite 4 Cylinder exhaust notes are.

That 500 really sounds savage. A random Dart GT once rolled into the shop. I was startled and looking for the car. I was surprised to see the sound came for the Dart.
Yeah when I was researching what cars to include the 500 was definitely the biggest surprise.
MG MGB? Ek9 civic?
Tried to only include fairly recently released cars otherwise probably would have included something like the MG.
Also wanted to look for some cars that you don’t see mentioned in every other “Best Exhaust Noise” post so that’s why there’s no Hondas. Obviously though if we’re looking at all time best sounding 4 pots the EP3 and S2000 would be in there without a doubt :)
The mk3 focus non St is a mint sounding na 4 pot
S2000???
I love the S2000 noise but like I said I’ve tried to think outside the box and stay away from the cars you usually see mentioned on these lists. Otherwise the EP3 and S2000 would have definitely gotten a mention 👍
WRX/STi???
Like I said mate I’ve tried to stay away from the usual culprits mentioned on these lists like STi’s.
Y NO HONDA
Read the full post. I said I wasn’t including any of the usual suspects in these lists. Tried to think of some oddball choices.
Don’t like the A45 :S

Wow I cannot disagree more. But okay.
You can disagree as much as you want dude…everyone has their own opinion on these kinda things and that’s what’s awesome about it.
Although I probably could’ve had a better title…something like “My 5 favourite 4 Cylinder Exhausts” would’ve suited it better.
What would be on your list? 👍
New Boxster doesnt sound that bad as well
I don’t know, but I like straight piped 3S-GE noises :3
