On a recent vacation, I recently visited Albuquerque NM, driving around there requires a fast powerful engine to get up to speed ASAP, or accidents will happen. In comparison, when I visited Boston, I rented a Fiat 500 and loved it, it was perfect for zipping around a those old narrow winding city roads, in and out of traffic, and finding parking. Heck I didn't pay for parking in Boston once while I was there! Freeway driving is the norm for most of America though. A tiny engine won't due, it will however get someone ran over.
