Well, the question I have is good for which application.

It's certainly good enough for the cars it is found in. I'm not sure
which "issues" you are talking about but the LD9 really represents the
final stage of evolution for the quad 4 engine.

I can only guess as to why you are asking. If you are looking for a
car with a really good and unbelievably smooth 4 cylinder engine then
look at late model Toyota.

I had a Saturn Vue with the 2.2L Ecotech. After my son ran it through
the mud (and I mean deep through the mud), we lost a coil pack, but
otherwise the engine was trouble free. I wish I could have said the
same about the transmission. When the car had around 40K miles I
traded it in because I didn't want to worry about needing another new
transmission.
