I've never had any serious issues with my 2.7tt in 80,000 miles either (knock on wood!!!). I really think it depends on how well you maintain them, and I'm fanatical about my cars. I think the V8's are definitely more reliable though. But nowhere near as tunable! Mine is not a daily driver though, so the reliability isn't an issue. Anyway, if it's a daily driver and your not into tuning it, I'd stick with the V8. The 4.2 is bulletproof motor from all I've heard.
I just finished doing some more updates to my 2.7tt, downpipes, exhaust, etc... Now pushing 380hp and 450 ftlbs torque (this is according to my tuner and not verified though). The torque is mind boggling, as is watching the gas needle fall at a staggering rate!
