Answer depends on weight & aerodynamics! (And to a certain extent the environment you drive in.)

The previous generation Smart Fortwo CDI (Canadian / Euro market) has 40 horsepower - and a worse (from the conventional perspective) power to weight ratio than a Geo Metro 3 cylinder car. I'd drive one!
