Only really noticed this the other day when I borrowed my Dad's Astra and then went back into my 206cc
The acceleration from traffic lights for instance does not seem to be that good
I'm no boy racer but you cant seem to burn anybody off from the lights - I have a 1.6
Just wondering if it's just mine!

Perhaps you'd better change your name to Fizzled Phoenix! Our 1.6 isn't that quick either. Slower than a 1.6 hatch even, because of the extra weight of the roof mechanism I guess. Anyway I don't bother with trying to out-drag anyone unless they're on a moped.
My Merc C280 was quick (and thirsty at 28mpg), my Golf is quick too (and economical at 50+ mpg), but in neither could you cruise along with the sun on your head and the wind through your hair (what's left of mine!).
