Its just one of those things, we've all got to start off somewhere, and by driving a 1.1 (like i do) and gaining your experience and ncb in there for a few years, your opening yourself up to a whole lot of other choices. I learnt to drive in 4 different cars, including a mini cooper and a corsa tdci, and going into my car didnt feel much different. Its the 'driving alone' bit that is, and at times, im glad for the little power i do have!
