Hello members,
This will be my first post…I am seriously considering the purchase of a 1998 Bravo HGT, 2.0 20v 155 HP; 80000 Km, service history, timing belt recently changed.
I took a test drive yesterday and was really unimpressed. The car was very sluggish…I started slow in first, picked up speed, then took it up to 4500-4600 rpm in 2d gear.
But no push in the back
My alfa 33 1.3 IE seems quicker…
Is this normal? Does it have to go upto 5500-6000 rpm in each gear to make the 0-60 mph in 9.0 sec?
The engine sounds good, no phase variator or tappet noise.
Other than that the car seems in good shape.
Any response will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Warrior
