GV70 or GV80 2.5t or 3.5t in Terms of Reliability?

[g70.chris]

Hello everyone, I was looking through and couldn't find any threads on reliability so far between the inline-four turbocharged engine or the twin-turbocharged v6. Convinced my mom to get the new GV70 or GV80 and she is a bit of a rough driver so I wasn't sure which would be the best for her and last her the longest I guess.

The problem in answering this questions is that a lot of people post their issues, but never bother to fill in the info near their avitar to say which trim line, AWD or RWD or the engine they have and then don't mention any of this in their posts. I have a 2.5 in my GV80 and I am completely happy with it. The 3.5 if of course faster, but from what I read, it is a gas hog around town. If I was getting a GV70, the 2.5 is certainly enough. I came from a Q5 which is the same size as the GV70 and it had a 2.0 and it was quick enough.
I have not read about any major engine fails in either car. Some have had issues with fuel pumps, but that is about it as far as engine. But of course someone may have had an issue, but it does not seem to be a rule with this car.
