Mine seems to feel rapid one day and lethargic the next, with no obvious reason, does anyone else get this?
I presume weather but even on similar days its the same!

Too much caffeine. :wink:

Seriously. Cold dense air is always going to give a few more ponies, especially on a turbo. I do notice the difference on crisp winter days compared to hot summer days. But I think half of that is psychological, plus I prefer the sunny days over a few extra bhp. :D :driving: Shouldn't happen day to day though.

Well it does have high mileage so I guess it's likely. Off to Google the symptoms!

Maybe check your mpg, if this differs from day to day you could have a sticky brake caliper.

Honestly i think it's just a feeling
