Heh! When I worked at europcar (VW'S Car hire place), We uses to ensure each new car to the fleet recieved an "Italian Tuning" on the way to the car park- they were much faster after that.


Seriously though, regarding the s50 being so much better than the v50- it sounds extreme, but a back to back rolling road test may indicate differences?

Sounds like your car feels "lethargic" in comparison?

Could the injectors be clogged?
