Do you have a point of reference? Like, is it now slower than it used to be, or has it always been like that? My Cabbie (stock 1990) is gutless, and it has only 60K miles and runs like a top.

My 92 Golf goes like stink, 1.8 Digifant 5-speed.
Maybe it is just the auto gearboxes then.

Just curious (not up to speed so to speak on the terminology); "like stink"=good, or =bad? I'm happy with my 8v performance although I would say it is underpowered (can be a good thing - harder to get into trouble but still fun).
Mine seems pretty OK when it gets up to speed but pulling away from a stop, it's somewhat inadequate. I was wondering if a problem with something like the throttle position sensor or the oxygen sensor could be the issue. Seems like it is just a poorly geared gearbox. I guess you have to make the gears a little taller when you only have four.
