I’m just about to choose whether to buy a VW Polo as 80 or 95 hp petrol. I also drive a lot of federal roads but in my everyday life hardly on routes where you can drive more than 120 km/h. Therefore, it’s not about the speed but about the question whether it makes economic sense to buy a stronger engine. – The 95 hp engine consumes about 0.3 l less than the 80 hp at 100 km. (very nice but not buying) The crucial question remains: Can one say that larger engines generally live longer or are less prone to repairs? Are there any other advantages? In the specific case, the difference is 1200€, but in the case of higher motorization I would be forced to buy even more equipment from which I can use little, so that I would end up at 210€ price difference. Do you think that the higher motorization is worth?
