It depends on how fast you need the car to be and at what altitude you will drive. The most important factor is to find a very well cared for car, and continue to do the same.

+1, i used to live at 7200'. one of my cars, a saab 9000 2.3L 4 cyl turbo would handle the big climb up the long hill with gusto, where as my 8cyl oldsmobile would run out of lungs 1/2 way up. Turbo for the mountains... |

Turbo for certain - the non-turbo will have a hard time keeping up with traffic even without the hills/mountains.
