    A small engined car dangerous to join a motorway? !!!!!!.

    My first car was a 45bhp 1043cc Polo and I had no issues joining motorways or driving on country roads.

    Thats because your polo weighed 14 grams and the Corsa weighs nearly 1200 kg,its simply too heavy a car for a 1.0.
    Went shoplifting at the Disneystore today.

    Got a huge Buzz out of it.

    I have one sat on my drive right now, storing for my brother. Two of us can just about lift it!


    Add everything a modern car has to the same size engine? Nah.

    I'm not saying everyone needs 6 cylinders, but I started my driving life in punchy turbodiesels that were brilliant; more powerful and economical that the horrible little Corsas & Fiestas that my friends were driving!
