Interesting question

[Sijray21]

i've always read in posts about higher torque/power cars being less reliable in the long run, including FI engines. I don't think this is true for all cases, but i think the engine is more likely to be less reliable with more torque (given build quality is all the same -- which isn't true).

I'd prefer lower displacement, more tuning, more reliability, with cost/budget in mind. Plus lower powered cars are generally lighter as well, and i like that. This is definitely subjective however.
