Welcome! :D
I have had the cylinder question... and if they are mechanically challenged then the answer 'rotor' just makes them even more confused!

it's even better when you just answer "none" and leave them to contemplate that for awhile enjoy the car!

That's the only proper answer to the question. Why offer more than was asked?

I agree with the 'none' answer!
I also fill in "its 1.3L, 230HP" and THEN they are really

Welcome and enjoy!

I was talking to a guy who owns a couple of old "muscle cars", and he thought I was confused when I told him that the car made 238 HP out of 80 cubic inches of displacement! It is kind of amazing, isn't it?

Funny, I always give them the, its a 1.3 with 400hp line to (In my FD). Always blows people away.

Its always good when you blow some rustang's doors off and he pulls up to you at the next light to ask what you got under the hood. I always reply, "Its a two cylinder 1.3L". They usually respond with a blank stare.
