Not since the '70s, if you discount friends' cars & commercial trucks where I didn't really know what the engine was. Most of my cars have been 4-cylinder, either the standard inline 4 of everything from the Austin-Healey to the '88 Toyota pickup I use for hauling & rough roads now, or the Subaru flat 4. Add in a couple of rotary engined Mazdas, and the current 3-cylinder Insight.

Most of my bikes were fours, too. The one exception that I can remember offhand - a Yamaha twin - I sold after a few weeks because it was too loud.
