I have a serious query, o/tistas.

Are there any small, sensible city cars that have a decent engine? Toyota Aygo's, or those wimpy Hyundai i10 all come out with a 1.0 or a 1.2L engine, either 3 or 4 cylinder, some are turbocharged, some not. Whatever.

They claim they're so green they will mend the ozone layer and that they will do a million miles to the gallon - both of which they obviously don't (yes i was exaggerating, but the principle still stands). But anyway, that's not the point of this thread...

My query is, are there any city cars with a decent, 1.4L+, n/a engines in said shitty little tinny city cars?

Piss easy mode - no mention of CO2, and mpg's don't matter as much.

Picture unrelated.

This weird little thing came with a 1.6l FSI engine at some point.

Doesn't look as small as some of the modern stuff, but that still looks slick.

Yeah, it's a bit bigger than let's say an Aygo in every way, but not by much. The biggest difference is in length, where it adds like 40cm.
Wheelbase is almost identical though.

A Aygo isn´t even that slow, these cars are over 100kg lighter than a MX-5.
You ounlye have to rev it to get full power.

Can't forget about this qt. 1.6l NA engine, rev-happy as fuck, and a great chassis to boot.

>A Aygo isn´t even that slow
>0,076 hp/kg

Toyota Matrix (2ZZ-GE version)

It has a pretty good powerband, it reaches max torque @3600rpm and has maximum power untill 6400rpm.

Also a 4A-GE swap is possible.

None of this matters because a car with a 0,076hp/kg power to weight ratio is SLOW AS SNAIL
