    Which one do you think is better Naturally aspirated or turbocharged?
    Examples of a naturally aspirated car is a Renault Clio sport and turbocharged would be a ford fiesta st.

    I'd go with naturally aspirated because it's cheaper to do and easier on the engine components.

    That is definitely an interesting way of looking at it but come on, I would have to go for turbo noises over a high revving little car any day. But you are right about the price because if the turbo were to break or get damaged, I would have to fork out a lot of money just to get it fixed and a naturally aspirated car will never have such a problem.

    If your only talking small cars I think I would go turbo or supercharged as well. But a big torque V8 is always nice. I have always owned NA cars. Almost all were V6 so they had ok fuel mileage and nice power. I'm not against turbo cars, just haven't bought one yet.

    Never had a turbo (but I did have an RX7 with a rotary engine). It - the Mazda RX7, was actually pretty cool but not that great on gas. Got it used and had it for about five years. But the question is turbo. Tempted but a buddy who is more knowledge mechanically than me am said turbo is great but if it goes wrong you are screwed. My hot car was a 280 ZX and 280s came in a turbo edition but I got a regular engine. Six, and fast enough for me.
