L200 Strada

Honda Accord 2.4 VTi-L

I personally would prefer a torquey engine that produces torque at low engine speeds. Great for city driving.

Torque din ako. Mas madali igapang sa traffic. 2nd gear lang parati. The engine does not bog down.

Tourque is good in cornering,pero kapag makikipag race ka sa str8 line masmahalaga ang HP.kapag mahilig kang umovertake masmahalaga ang torque.

...like what they used to say, "torque win races".

[empy]

are there any engines in existence, besides diesels, that have low hp and high torque?

[mbt]

yes, gasoline-fed engines can be built for torque, and this application is usually seen in trucks.

for example, the toyota 4.7L V8 in the land cruiser makes 235 hp and 325 lb-ft, with 80% or so of the peak torque available at a very, very low rpm.
