Cars (engines) with peaky or very poor low speed torque are unpleasant to drive. Cars with robust flat torque curves are fun to drive. You want a car that is responsive to the driver and gas pedal at all speeds and to the extent possible all gears. That requires a broad, flat and high torque curve.

When you have to be reaching for a different gear and trying to get into the engine's power curve (torque peak) to negotiate something in your outing, your car will not be as satisfying to drive as one that has robust torque everywhere and in all gears.
