I5s are one of the worst platforms ever concieved
1:They cost more to produce
2: their power and torque isnt really much more than your stard 4 cylinder
3: fuel economy is generally better with a 4cyl
4: they are more unbalanced than your average 4cyl or I6, because they have too much free movement where the stroke isnt doing anything causing lots of vibration
5: their stroking is way weird having that extra stroke not accompanied by another movement throws it off
the only good thing about an i5 is the extra TQ you can get over a 4cyl using almost the same amount of space due to the power stroke, but i wouldnt really consider that much better
