I recently bought a 2014 Punto 1.4 Easy, not sure exactly which engine it is but it has only done 50K and everything seems to be well looked after, the only thing is acceleration from take off is painfully slow, iIused to have a 1.3CDTI Corsa which was a lot nippier so am wondering if I have a problem or that is just the way they are, any advise would be appreciated as this is the first Fiat I have owned in forty years of driving.

Hi.

The FIRE motor.. both in 1.2 and 1.4 are 'plodders'

That cdti is a FIAT engine.. the diesel puntos have 75 /90 horse ..depending on turbo spec

So.. that probably more BHP than yours..and a LOT more torque

Even the 2cyl 875cc is 85bhp.. and BIG in torque

Not much you can do.. other than get used to its different characteristics.

Ive got the derv..and the 875..

Both good.. but very different drives
