For conventional cold runner tools, full-round runners are best because they provide the lease resistance to flow and minimize cooling in the runner.
This type of geometry most closely simulates a full round runner but only requires machining in only one plate.
Externally heated manifolds are best.

And as an automotive designer, you want each and every one of your vehicles to give drivers and passengers a riding experience just short of nirvana.
There’s just one problem: all of that increased usage creates greater wear on components.
An electric car does not even have engine noise to drown out those bumps, squeaks, and rattles.
