While I completely agree with all of these points and learners (not just kids) should be limited in the power rating of their cars just as learner motorbikers I also think that it can be important to have a certain level of power. As a teenage learner i was a sensible driver (having 2 x chromosomes may have helped that...) and dad refused to let me buy anything under 1500cc because he believed that a car with a small amount of power may not be able to react fast enough to avoid a bad situation whereas a slightly more powerful one might just be able to.
