From memory of a test drive of another One, the response was about the same. I dont think I'll bother with the dealer - their response will be something along the lines of "thats normal" I'm sure.
I probably exagerated the extent of the issue - its definitely flat in the 1000-2000rpm range but then pick up is quite good a 1400cc car after that. I'm sure its the tall gearing mainly at fault. Just have to adapt my driving style to avoid bogging the engine whenever possible. |
