"Rattly" engine

'13 MCS and man, I gotta say these tiny little engines are kind of "rattly" or "tinny" sounding. Used to a MUCH bigger engine, just a roar.... I was kind of shocked.

So much so I even took it in to see if it's normal. All's good. Just like most cars it's a little worse during cold start. Engine revs around 1300 for first few seconds then calms down to around 700-ish like normal.

Was just surprised. Not so much a "problem" I suppose as an observation.

Fun *** little car though... that's for sure!
