I didn't realise any modern cars still had timing chains, i thought it must have been a thing of the past.

All Ford TDCi engines are on chain AFAIR. Mine is on 161k now and as silent as a lamb.

chains last longer than belts

For many drivers a chain will last the life of the car

Modern belts on some models are at 4y change £300+ job

Most manufacturers have now gone over to 3 year/36K mile cam belt intervals.
The Mazda 3/6 petrol engines use cam chains.
In the old days cam chains used to last upwards of 200K miles, if they got noisy, then a tensioner change normally cured it. Nowadays however, I have heard of cam chain failures in small/medium Vauxhalls (Agila for instance) as low as 40K miles.

The Honda 2.2 Diesels (in the Civic, Accord, FR-V, CR-V) all have a chain

Would you buy a cycle that used a rubber belt to drive the wheels ?

All three of my cars [1958 MGA, 1998 XJ8 and 2005 Jazz] have chain driven camshafts and so does my 1980's Kubota compact tractor.
