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.
