    But the question is "What's the car most common engine...". For people who English is not their main language (like me), it may leads to confusion. As they may think that word "the" in there is pointing to the engine, not to the car, so they assume it can be any cars.
    Most everyone who has been on this forum for a long time knows the Mirage is 1.2L, 3-cylinder naturally aspirated engine, & some markets offer a smaller 1.0L, 3-cylinder engine.

    I'm not sure why they are giving you a hard time over that?

    Americans can be guilty (including myself in that statement) of assuming everyone knows English. I admire those of you who are bilingual.

    I will give you the benefit of the doubt as a native English speaker who understands how difficult it is to translate our speech to others, but to act like you don't know what car we are referencing when it is a SPECIFIC Mirage/SpaceStar website is BULL****. Use your brain. /EndRant

    And this if from someone who works for a Global company and understands language barriers to a T....
