So this is like, for kids to drive or something?

Have they started using those performance limiting keys like the US makers have, so parents can give their V8s to their teenagers for the evening?

Every car should have one of those before being lent to Tim....

40 bhp is probably too much :-p

Why are you all being weird? You can get very slow versions of most cars, and this has always been the case and is only likely to get moreso for tax/cheapness reasons :-)

Ford's 1.6 Zetec-SE, Duratec 16v, or whatever Volvo call it these days...

100 PS, 1400 kg plus five people, and a panic alarm feature. What more could you realistically want?

Apart from the Prius. There's no fast version of that.

Pity it wasn't the Insight. Some people turbocharge those! ;-)
