As the title says i feel as though i am lacking that instant acceleration in 2nd gear that my previous cars have had, its mainly when I'm 'nipping out' at roundabouts and junctions, (when theres a car coming but with a bit of gas you have time to get out) where i notice it most, seems to have no instant power and takes about a few seconds to 'feel' any power, all other gears are fine, any ideas?

Just sold one which we had from new. Bottom line is - it's a gutless little motor at low speeds. Keep the revs over 3000 and its not bad at all though.
