Best, or just sweetest 4 cylinder engines?

The Rover K series 1.8 VVC is a whizzy little motor. Going further back into old school stuff, the Lotus Twin Cam is hard to beat for sheer enthusiasm.
Probably the 4 pot with the most character I've driven. Albeit it wasn't as it left the Rover factory.Beethree said:
Honda H22 or B18.
The K20 is a ‘better’ engine, but loses quite a bit of the character the 90’s engines had.
I once had a ride in an enthusiatically driven CRX, which I believe is a 1.6 VTec of some description. It sounded immense. Such an angry little motor.The K20 is a ‘better’ engine, but loses quite a bit of the character the 90’s engines had.

I like the Rover K series, it's way ahead of it's time regarding design, construction materials, processes used during manufacture and specific output; 105bhp from an n/a 1.4 litre in a mainstream car in the 80's! Most 2.0 engines of the time barely made any more power than that. On top of that it's a very nice engine to use.Such a shame Rover had to cut corners and endow it with the reputation it has...
TU3S engine, 85 bhp, my god does it like to rev, the Yamaha derived Toyota 1.8 190 vvti could have been great if the gearing was right, Honda rightfully stole that crown and ran away with it.
The Toyota 4a for reliability, the Mitsubishi Evo X FQ-400, 403 bhp from a 2.0 16v turbo is still crazy.
