I recently bought one. I had no idea a three cylinder existed, but sure enough...it does. There's no notable difference between it and any other car. Pretty wild. Oh, for the kind of car (small SUV) it gets really fantastic gas mileage.

I'm curious to see the answers. I have a Burtz engine (block, head, and flywheel) that I plan on installing shortly. I thought about going for float a motor mounts, but I'm trying to maintain the stock look as much as possible. If I need to do float a motor mounts...might as well do it while the engine is out and I'm cleaning up that part of the car anyway.

Curious as to others' experiences.
