It all also depends on how the engine is built. The B16a2 is a very compact and very well balanced engine because it's almost square. (square engine=bore and stroke are the same value) Perfectly square engines are extremely balanced, and don't need any added weight of a balancer. If you take a look at different engines like the Nissan QR25DE in the Sentra, it's not very balanced, it needs a balancer to keep from vibrating itself to death. Thats because the bore is 100mm and the stroke is like 86 mm. You're pushing 100 mm width pistons 86 mm up and down, around and around.

Yeah thats because inline sixes are extremely common in economy cars. 
If I wanted an inline six, I'd get a semi or a Jeep Grand Cherokee

I can see myself spending $30,000 on a "sports" car that runs mid 14's if it's lucky. Get a real car dips**t, then brag about how fast it is
