Mines a 2.2 auto. So it occasionally turns the volume up to "lethargic ". The rest of the time it feels like a team of ill-trained sloths are dragging me to my destination:P

I often notice a bit more power on cold evenings. Those when it's not so slippery you can't use it, at any rate. ;)

Yep - Lovely cold, dense air being sucked in at a rate of knots.  :y

Try some Higher Octane Fuel - It'll go like a stabbed rat, AND you'll get 10% more MPG!  ::)

My commute home at 5 am takes about half the time of my commute to work, and not much beats the sound of a V6 at full chat in sub zero temps 8)

Although the replacement might just do it :-X
