156 slow

[Cr4igj]

Hi, I’ve Just got a 2014 156bhp and it feels flat/slugish - no warning lights on and I’ve not had chance to scan it yet. Mates auntie has been pootling around town in it for years. Before I throw it at my mechanic are they known to be slow ? Anybody recommend a decent remap around Manchester/cheshire.

Thanks

Before you remap it’s best to know it’s in good health.
I have a 156 and don’t find it sluggish at all. Being a direct injection engine and having spent years tootling about it could be in need of the inlet valves cleaning and a very thorough service. Then a bit of gradual Italian tuning to blow the cat and exhaust out.

I mean, compared to a Ferrari it's slow but, no it's not a slow car generally!
