    confused CDTi 120 performance

    Anybody on here disappointed with their CDTi 120's lack of gusto?

    To be fair the car is more of a cruiser than a racer, and if driven carefully enough I will see mid 50's on the M-way.

    However, on the odd occasion when I have needed a bit of get up and go, it does'nt seem to have much - my old diesel mondeo would have smoked it - maybe a chip would cure it?

    Out of curiosity, has anybody had a 120 and moved up to a 150? I really wanted a 150 but for what I got my car for I would have got a very leggy 150.

    Advice, as always, is appreciated.

    Love my 120 with running box and panel filter... Serviced everything on it...
    It's running spot on and is reliable... Doesn't have as many issues as a 150...

    i have a 120 also,i am not disapointed with its performance at all really,wouldnt mind a remap though.
    wouldnt touch a 150 as for my budget at the time would have had too many potential issues.
    i would and have recommended a 120 to anyone.
