Engine differences: Corolla, Civic, Sunny, Lancer

Dear Fellows,

I am using Nissan Sunny 2005. I just wanted to know what kind of �differences� are there among the �engine technologies� of Corolla, Civic, Sunny and Lancer (please take into account all the latest models present on the roads of Pakistan only). Also, what advantages/disadvantages do we get in these cars only 'engine-wise' when we consider the following factors;

1. Pick or Acceleration (which will go faster).
2. Technology (which one is advanced/obsolete)
3. Fuel economy.
4. Which car can be declared as is �simply the best� (only engine-wise).

Please don�t compare the whole cars� I just want to know about engine and their mechanism.

Moreover, I know that there are a number of �intellectuals� who have extraordinary knowledge about vehicles and can respond to my query.

I thank you all in anticipation and anticipate to get articulate replies from the Gari.pk

hello!
talking about Corolla,sunny,CIvic and lancer engines...here one interesting thing you can find that engines like corolla & sunny are DOHC or Twin Cam engines whereas just HOnda and Lancer was still sticked to SOHC..maybe new one is expected in DOHC version..all engines seems to be fine and best and got some specialities..

1st Corolla got 3 engines in different models...the 1.3L in XLi and Gli
the 1.6L in Se Saloon and now 1.8L in Altis....
the new Z-gen engines by Toyota is a total change in engine gen...comes with VVT-i which makes engine to produce much better output curve than before.....Twin cam is also in this engine making it much end-performing engine.....
1.3L 2NZ-FE =82hp...
1.6L 3ZZ-FE =110hp..
1.8L 1ZZ-FE(VVT-i)=135hp......
now comes the SUnny....the new model shifted also the engine gen from GA to QG series...comes in 1.3L Ex-saloon and 1.6L SUper Saloon...The ECCS by Nissan like introuced in GA series here performing simply best in Fuel Effeciency..in QG engines it has got the same ECCS fuel system.....1.6L version is equipped with Catalyzer...engines are Twin Cam...here did'nt comes NEO VVL as it comes in JDM models...
1.3L QG13DE=
1.6L QG16DE=
Honda Civic....engines are equipped with very complicated advanced Valve Lifting solutions i-VTEC but system running on just one Cam making it much complicated..engines are available in 1.5L (without VTEC) and 1.6L(VTec-III)....engines are high compression making it more powerful...
1.5L=110hp
1.6L(Vtec-III)=128hp...
and Lancer comes also with 1.3L and 1.6L in GL and GLX...engine was SOHC 16V...4G18 and 4G13..
1.3L=86hp
1.6L=104hp
as i conclude so power wise Honda has got prett much powerful machines as compated to all but technology is too complicated and fuel effeciency was not too good as engine still runs on SOHC...on other hands Toyota and Nissan engines has got fine spec and engines are built for hig end performance and most of all fuel effeciency is pretty good...lancer is still running on the same platform as before...nothing special to be interested but mitsubishi engines are also fuel effecient...
Thanxxx
