Also, sometimes instead of brushing the snow off my car I just wind it up to around 178km/h to blow the snow off, and it seems that the 1.0L engine would not be capable of this, so it means more work ....
That's why we need turbos. That opaque ice on the windshield usually doesn't start peeling off until after 182 km/hr. As for 172 km/hr....well....life is just too short to be spent dawdling with the crawling, molasses inspired masses.
