    I'm shopping around for C70's, preferrably 2004. Can someone give me
    an honest description, pros and cons etc.
    of HT and LT turbos? I don't need a race car nor do I need any more
    complications than are necessary. I understand the HTs are more
    desirable because they move a heavy car more quickly, but......what
    EXACTLY are the tradeoffs?

    Thanks!

    Greater engine wear because the owner of a car with a high pressure
    turbo probably used that power a lot. Lower gas milage on a high
    pressure turbo. Higher price for the high pressure turbo on the used
    car market.

    If you don't need a race car as you stated then go for the light
    pressure turbo.

    Realize that the "C" cars are darned good looking, but the long doors
    usually mean more body rattles as the car ages.
