Look at the difference in acceleration times. This is a significant difference and shows that the 35i is the one to get. Like I said earlier, the N20 really runs out of steam in the top end.

No one's arguing the differences between the two engines mate. Clearly there is. I was simply responding to the OPs question about realiabilty on the N20. No more, no less.
