This is about as scientific as the fifteenth-century Vatican, but I think 3.7 liter engines are cursed. Six vehicles come to mind, featuring five engines. Click through to see the gallery and my descriptions.

- Dave Holzman '08 Civic (stick) that I bought used 1/31/12 with 35k on the clock. Now at 159k.It runs as nicely as it did when I bought it. I love the feel of the car. The most expensive replacement was the AC compressor, I think, but something to do with the AC that went at 80k and cost $1300 to replace. It's had more stuff replaced than I expected, but not enough to make me want to ditch a car that I truly enjoy driving.
- ToolGuy Let's review: I am a poor unsuccessful loser. Any car company which introduced an EV which I could afford would earn my contempt. Of course I would buy it, but I wouldn't respect them. 😉
- ToolGuy Correct answer is the one that isn't a Honda.
- 1995 SC Man it isn't even the weekend yet
- ToolGuy Is the idle high? How many codes are behind the check engine light? How many millions to address the traction issue? What's the little triangular warning lamp about?

Justin, the G37's engine is a gem, but real world mileage sucks if you use it like you should. And I do remember the 1.8 litre V6 in the Mazda. In fact I always had a soft spot for Mazda engines. Lastly, that oldie but goodie slant six engine is a legend in durability. There used to be speed parts for the slant six, too. Internals never broke on these pups
@davey49: Mirko Reinhardt- expense is why Wranglers aren’t diesels. Do you really want to add $4-5K on to the price of a Jeep? It's only a $1584 difference in Germany before taxes, not anywhere near the figure you quoted. If the Wrangler had a more modern V6, cost qould certainly be at least on par with a 4-cylinder diesel. @Banger You’ve taught me a great deal more about the 7 series, for which my heart has a soft spot. I stand corrected, and thank you for the info! You're welcome. I have a soft spot for some BMWs too. And no, I’ve never watched The Transporter. It's not as wrong as Transporter 2, and it features a manual transmission E38 735i.
