It is a car that would be out of the question for me. I have nerve damage as the result of a serious accident in 1995 and it affects the fine movement control of my right foot. So much power on a light car with not driver aids would be a deadly combination for me. I would even be worried about driving a new PlusFour. Probably best for me to stick with a conventionally aspirated engine that has predictable and linear power delivery.. A 1.5 litre 3 cylinder version may be better but even so the turbo boost effect which tends to come on suddenly may still be a problem.
