Power and torque are words used to describe the strength of the engine. Torque is basically how good the engine is at getting the wheels turning at all, but doesn't say anything about how fast they can be turned.
Power, horsepower (HP) or kW (kiloWatt) is sort of a combined value of turning strength and turn ratio.
High torque is good when first getting moving, but eventually it's the power value that will tell you how strong the engine is.

Which car is best to buy Low power High torque or High power Low torque?
Depends on what you want to do with the car and how much time you have. Power measures the work you can do over a period of time. Torque is simply the amount of force applied at a measured radius. If you have more torque you can move bigger things like boats and trailers easily. If you have more power you can move lighter things faster. Thus better acceleration numbers will be made by the car with high power, but that same car with low torque will have trouble towing your boat.
