I've been saying the same for ages, they should be limited to a 1.0 litre for 1 year then a 1.4 for another year and so on.

Leave hard starts and the traffic light grand prix to those who know how to handle it.
I had a young pimp tonight in a VW golf pull up at the side of me, now I've got a VW Passat 6 speed auto with a DSG gearbox with the paddles near the steering wheel. When we pulled off I let him go a little then I just went through the motions and let the car do the rest.
