Small turbo engines

In europe almost every new car is sporting this new 3 cylinder meme 1.0 Turbo engine

They go from 100 to 120HP

I think they will break down after 5 years because they have so much horse power for such a small engine

As five years is roughly the intended life of these small city cars then you'd be stupid to keep one much beyond that.

Where do you even get this idea from?!?
It's just an engine option for smaller cars. It gets bought but certainly not exclusively or "almost every new car has one".
I share your doubt about its longevity though.

with proper maintenance it will last forever.

1.4l
240hp

How long will it last?

They are used in VW passat, Skoda Octavia and lots of other cars.

Most new cars still have I4s

i have a 20 year old small city car

idk honda made a 1.8 that made 210 back in the 90s that's pretty reliable

100 hp/L is the norm for turbocharged engines. Nobody would bat an eye about a 300 hp turbo 3.0L or 500 hp turbo 5.0L, but when it's a 100 hp turbo 1.0L it's suddenly an overstrained unreliable pile? Bullshit.
