I love my ka...but, there is a thing or two about it that scares me...mostly the timing chain...but, i have seen worse. Most of the engine is straight forward....but, the s14 kas got more electronics and what not...which kind of scare me because i like the keep it simple stupid method...but, i mean, stuff like obd2 has its benefits also....you take the good, you take the bad...you know? But like...I love the vg...but it can be a pain in the ass to work on too...especially changing the plugs and what not...but 4 cylinders are easier to work on than 6...
