Where did Councils get their criteria for engine sizes from? Ours state that the minimum engine size must be 1250cc. However, as far as I can tell this figure has been in the policy since inception and has never been reviewed. I have had a look on the interwebbythingy and a 1980 Cortina 1300 had a BHP of around 60 and the 1600 was about 75 BHP. With modern engine technology you can now get engines with a 900cc capacity that produce 90 BHP. Isn't it time that Councils reviewed this outdated condition to take account of modern engines? |

YES our council does not have any engine size stipulation we have in the past had 1200 CC vauxhall novas plated (a long time ago) engine size is irrelevant these days it is the carbon footprint that counts nowadays |

I find pulling off in a 1600 TDCI with 4 passengers on-board a real problem. God knows what it's like in a 900cc? |

The petrol version of the logan is 900 cc but pulls 90 bhp. it had no problem with 4 of us in it. I suppose it depends on how you want to drive. |
