Ford Cologne 2.9 V6 - 150bhp isn't worth an average of 16mpg, head gaskets fail regularly, they weigh about a ton and burned oil from new.
Vauxhall X20XEV - the "Ecotec" 2.0 16v found in late Calibras and Cavaliers, and Vectras. The C20XE "red top" was an amazing engine, and they replaced it with this sack of shit which is 20bhp less powerfull, crippled by sensor issues and not actually any more economical.
Ford CVH - underpowered, torqueless, loves to blow head gaskets, loves to crack water jackets, has auto adjusting tappets that don't, and is quite possibly also the harshest most unpleasant sounding engine at over 4k revs that I've ever heard.
