One advantage though, for me anyway, is that low-torque cars can be easier to navigate around in tight, slow spaces like parking lots. Keep the revs low, and the car is very docile, easier (for me anyway) to manuever around.

With high-torque cars I'm always on edge, worried that the slightest tap of the pedal will cause it to go forward too fast.

Handy during snow driving too, as keeping the revs low reduces the chances of accidental wheel spin from all that torque.

So I actually like that split-personality of low-torque, high-revving cars
