2 litre car pick up sluggish and not consistant

Hi brothers, i have collected my 2litre car 25th august
still in the running in phase, i find that the car's performance
is not consistant sometime got power sometime sluggish
any one can enlightment me
thank you in advance

bro run in period lay u wack liao ah? anyway ur car perform better at lower temp. eg. at nite or rain

it depends on how u push ur pedal.. if u push suddenly it really moves.. but if u depress gently.. power comes slowly too.. for overtaking, u can use sportstronic mode or depress accerator all the way.. i feel tat the usual pick up speed for 2L is not slow.. faster than most cars in fact..
i do notice after running in.. performance improves.. better drive as per manual suggested since u still running in.. try to keep within the rpm range n brake smoothly for engine n brake to set properly.. bro divine is right.. very powerful if u drive in early morning cos ambient air is cold.. cheers~

2000 rpm to 4000 rpm if i remember correctly.. read the car manual n search in this forum.. all u need to know have been discussed b4

i still monitoring, but i realised that some time the car quite ok and responsive
but sometimes really almost floor the pedal at mild slope and the car is like struggling to pick up speed leh, even on flat road this will sometime happen is it normal?? pick up also slow is this normal during the run in period
side track-my the other car nissan sylphy 1.5 pick up quite fast when light step on the gas pedal but forte need to step on the gas for 1/5 before it start to pick up speed lor

hmm rev to 3k n rev to 5k from 1st gear make a diff bro...
but i advise u not too rev so high during run in la...

2.0L rev at 3k to 4k very powerful u try it.

not sure abt slyphy 1.5 pick up.. but i dun think 2L forte is slow lor.. everytime i press it goes! usu ahead of all cars after traffic light changes and i din really floor all the way i have this "slow" feeling initially.. but somehow after driving for some time i sort of know the pattern of the car n able to accelerate whenever i want it.. something to do with feeling the gear change.. drag more on lower gear will be fast (use sports mode if necessry)
