Low weight trumps power for everyday for me. I can take advantage of the handling that low weight improves more often than I can power from a V8.
My wife’s Buick has the biggest motor and the most power of the three we own, it has a whopping 260hp from its 2.0 Turbo. My Abarth and Miata combined might make it 280HP.
You have an Abarth? Cool little car but I wouldn't want to maintain it.
