yes, it's a known issue with small cars. my point is that small cars are getting more safe year after year and that makes them heavier, year after year. so one cant say its a small car, so it must be lightweight. things arent that simple. so for an actual lightweight car to come out, be safe and be cheap. well that'd be a pretty big deal. 200 measly hp or not...
