Its right in a way though, You hear lads on here that have XE's @ 18, and you wonder - Do they seriously understand what they are driving? Its a quick car that can be out of control in seconds. Much easier to loose then your average 1.2/1.4

only because they are driving like tools, having power imo doesnt make you any more likely to crash if you drive normallu and to the road conditions.

I could drive like a spanner in a 1l micra and crash and could do the same in a lambo. makes no difference in power its all down to the people who are behind the wheels who make the mistakes.

im 18 and have an XE and think its too slow next lowest powered car in my local group of mates is a 140ish bhp ek civic, highest is 220ish vw corrado, so im constantly (but sensibly) driving my car harder but i dont drive like a tw@ and know the cars limits.

think crashing because the car has quite a bit of power is just an excuse for bad driving or just a straightforward answer that cant really be proven and is easy to accept as the problem.

with an attitude like mine its probably just a matter of time before i crash
