Technical lack of power

[the joker]

since i got my palio a few years ago, it seems that iv lost some power even after its service it still seems weak.
it accelarates a bit slower than normal or i coulb be going crazy.

any tips or advice?

You get used to it.
100-105HP ( depends on MY) is a lot for a small car like the Palio, but after driving it for about 8 years in my case, you don't notice it anymore.

thought as much, just got to accept the 54 horses i have.

Oh, I'm sorry, I did think you got a 1,6-16V version....

hahaha no worries,
if they had the 1.6 in stock i would of taken it.

Which engine do you have?
Over here in Europe, between 1996 and 2001, we only got the Palio Weekend, in 1,3 form with 75HP and the 1,6-16V with 100-105 HP.
After the first version, Fiat stopped selling them at all, because sales didn't do well...!
A very few of the second generation were sold in Germany, if I'm not mistaken, and the Palio (Weekend) was never sold in the UK....to much trouble to convert it into right hand drive, I guess...!!

i did not know that a 1.6 was even available here in south africa, the 1.2 is a good seller here. we have the weekend and the sedans.
