When it comes to building engines, one philosophy is that the bigger, the better. Six cylinders? Why not eight? Ten? Twelve? Another philosophy is to work smarter, not harder. If you can get supercar specs out of six cylinders, why drag the car down with all that extra aluminum and cast iron? Track records are frequently made and broken on a difference of 100 pounds of curb weight, and with how much juice you can get out of turbochargers and electric motors these days, it's no wonder some of the quickest cars in the world have some of the leanest engines.

Automakers are always looking for new and innovative ways to improve efficiency, something that is becoming harder and harder to achieve as cars get both larger and heavier. Honda's latest idea - discovered by CarBuzz in a filing at the United States Patent and Trademark Office - is one of the most novel we've ever come across, employing "spinners" attached to belts laid along a car's bodywork, air injectors, and suction fans to change the aerodynamic properties of the vehicle. Unlike the innovative McMurtry Speirling, which has a fan sucking the car to the ground, Honda's patent aims to manipulate the air that flows around and over the body of a car, not that under it. Let's take a closer look.

There is a perception that a V-patern engine is better in terms of performance and efficiency, but the reality is a straight-six has so many advantages over its V-6 cousin. An inline engine only needs one head, gets by with half the cam shafts, and is easier to cool. I-6 engines also produce more torque at lower speeds and are perfectly balanced, making them quieter with less vibrations. Most importantly, a straight-six is cheaper to manufacture.

Three-cylinder engines are becoming a rarity as time passes.

V8s get a lot of attention when it comes to enthusiast cars, but the humble six-cylinder has become remarkably prevalent in an era where downsizing and turbocharging give you more power with a lower cylinder count. The six-cylinder strikes the balance between four and eight by providing a mix of an engine that can be smooth, reliable, and highly tuneable in the right scenarios. Six-cylinder engines in automotive use are typically found in four configurations:

The new Hyundai Santa Fe boasts a controversial design on the outside that definitely won't be for everyone (I'm all for it, but can see how the Minecraft Ford Flex aesthetic is a bit weird). The interior is less polarizing. The design is certainly on the blocky side itself, and doesn't have the more organic and luxury-adjacent vibe of the Palisade, but its technology, switchgear and overall materials quality all speak to a premium environment. I don't think it's as luxe as the Palisade Calligraphy with its quilted leather and silver switchgear, but it certainly has the luxury feature content to back it up. I'll be touching on those features a bit in this interior review, but I'll mostly be focusing on this interior's impressive functionality, much of which is common throughout the Santa Fe lineup.

The Si retains its manual-only configuration for 2025 and its turbocharged 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine, making 200 horsepower and 192 pound-feet of torque. Power reaches the front wheels, where Honda has included a standard limited-slip differential. The car comes standard with all-season tires, but summer performance tires are available for $300 more.

I wonder who else feels this way. I wonder what Zodiac Signs love the Sunshine. Want to find out? Let’s do a little research.
