That's true, but I can find some V-Twin 800cc air-cooled non-turbocharged Diesels with 18hp and half the torque of a VW Beetle, which could be enought for a city-commuter and, depending on the gearing, even for some highway traffic. And adding a turbocharger can be considered too

For diesels, the 800 cc 3-cyl used in the Smart ForTwo is an excellent choice - very lightweight with good power density and emissions compliance.

I like this one, but it's nearly impossible to LEGALLY get one here in Brazil
