Corsa 1.2
A girl friend has a Corsa 1.2, (early one) and it would appear to be lacking in power. I know its only a 1.2 but it will not pull the skin off a rice
pudding.
No burning oil, no overheating no oil in water and it sounds ok. Plugs changed and air filter.
What are the most likely causes?

being a 1.2?
If you can keep you head, whilst all others around you are losing theirs, you are not fully aware of the situation

my gf has a 52 plate 1.2 and to be honest its no race car but i wouldnt say its bad. . .
0-80 is fine, just dont try to overtake more than one car at a time.

Check the valve timing , easy job . Someone could have done it wrong if it's been changed . Change the fuel filter . check for full throttle.
Try the easy/cheap things first. Brakes binding?
