I am gonna pick up on this.. and disagree entirely

I drive my wifes Aygo 1.0vvti quite often on long journeys because it uses bugger all petrol.
Its perfectly useable on the motorway and I usually cruise somewhere between 70 and 80.
my last big journey was to Pebs 'Graduation'. Didnt have one incident where I thought... OMG I needed more power to get out of a situation or more power to overtake. It was perfectly capable of overtaking cars and not causing issues on the road.

I dont drive it like the scooby because it isnt the scooby. I get into the mindset of the car I am about to drive, then all becomes far less stressful and worrying.
