yeah mine seems to have fell in love with the petrol station. I put a tenner in it on sunday and ahve done just under 70miles and now it's going on to reserve. We're thinking of driving down to Alton Towers but I don't fancy taking mine, Think it'd cost too much on petrol. My mates the same he's got a Suzuki Jimny | |

A 1.2 8v will not do 110 unless the speedo is reading at least 10mph wrong. My 1.2 16v topped out at about 104/5 and at that speed the speedo isnt very acurate anyway so it could of been lower! | |

ok fair enough, just wondering why both have the same 0-60 time. | |

I've been trying just no luck, Had the car for about 2months now. Also what kinda mpg you get on your car cause I have another sneaking suspicion mine is using too much fuel, as a note to the above, i'm not used to fast cars I had a 1.4 Diesel 106, Fastest it went was 85, 0-60 in about 30 seconds | |

to K2HOY Steep hill, mine would only do that if I pushed it off a cliff and added weights to the car (good couple of hundred bricks in the back seats) Nah but seriously, Why won't this go any quicker, I have a sneaking suspicion that the last owner didn't really use the car as much so maybe the engine needs loosened up a bit? | |

I thought that the 1.2's and 1.4's 8v's we're the same BHP ? thought they we're round about 58 or 60. My top speed I've had is about 90 where he's had his at 95 (When I was in car) though I've seen a 1.0 12V at 100mph! | |

If your wheels are bigger then your effective gearing is longer, which would result in the car being slower to accelerate. | |

The only differences is I've got alloys on mine, Neither has PAS or anythin like that. His doesn't have a rev counter though? Whats optimum time to change gear ? | |
