Thing is, you only need about 50bhp to do 80mph, so it doesn't really matter what the peak output is. (Based on the fact a C1 with 54bhp will do 96mph).

I'd love to keep the S, unfortunately I need something more suitable to commuting, and I can't afford to run 2 cars. Choosing a 123d is a reasonable/sensible compromise for me, obviously it can't compete with the S as an out and out sports car, but it will still have enough power (allbeit not quite delivered in the same way) in order to have at least a little bit of fun when the moment arises.

Well, I've bought one, a rather nice (IMO) 123d M Sport Coupe. I'm very pleased so far, pretty much what I was expecting although it does make you realise what a great drivers car the S2000 is. Quick pic...
