If the point is commuting in inner city, then anything over a normally aspirated 1.6 is "too much", technically speaking. Doesn't stop any of us buying 2litre turbos though.

Power and more of it please. Personally I don't spec my cars on the speed limit, otherwise why aspire to anything more than a barina? And for some, building the best you can in every area (including power) is a goal within itself.

Nothing exceeds like excess, I say. I'll take all that's available then some.

I would agree that a highly tuned k04 is fairly well ideally suited for most conditions, as you get the power whilst still going legal speeds.. Above that though and you are left wanting.
