My first car was also a 4 cylinder. Basically 6 horsepower (actually just looked it up and it had 103 hp.)
I still drive my Leaf like a grandma on her weekly grocery run. I just don’t think we should have powerful cars. Ideally, we’d just have better public transit and more walking. But at least in the short term, smaller cars that won’t kill pedestrians.
I wish there was anything smart about smart cars. I would love to have a tiny car with excellent gas mileage or at least a more affordable price point. But at the price and mileage there is no difference between it and most (non-luxury) cars and even some SUVs.
I also checked and need to amend myself: my Metro was a 3 cylinder. I forgot about the first time I popped the hood and realized I was driving a lawnmower with a body.
