Hi all. Have had my 172 for a couple of months now. I love it, great little car, excellent fun down the smaller back roads and smaller tracks and generally quite a nice car to be in.
However. My car really struggles and I mean really struggles above 100mph, up until that speed it performs exactly as it should and is fantastic. Its on par with my GTI-6 up until 100 but then lags behind massively.
You may well respond with when do you ever go above 100, my response to that is, not often but I do occassionally.
Just to give you an idea of how much the speed drops off at above 100 I used to own a 106 GTI and a Saxo VTS when the VTS was standard (engine wise) it was faster as was the 106, now surely this isn't right.
Little bit of information about my clio, its completely standard and has covered 43K and seems to be in good condition overall. Any ideas as to why the massive drop in power above 100?
Cheers all.
