A180 sluggish

Purchased a 2013 A180 29,000km last week. I have become disappointed with its performance. It seems so under powered. It takes a whole lot of accelerator pedal movement to get things underway. In short, it is gutless.

Today it went back to the dealer for a cut and polish and they lent us another A180. 2013, 35,000km. The only difference was that the lone vehicle had the AMG body kit.

For some reason the lone vehicle is so much nicer to drive. It feels much more responsive and requires less accelerator pedal movement. (It also doesn't have that awful plastic steering wheel.)

Could our vehicle need an adaptive software reset?

Hi.

I dont think it have to do with the software.
A have an A180 and a Volvo v50.
Both have 110cv (horse power) and their behavior and response are prety the same...
Both are nice to drive (for me)

Maybe changing some filter (air filter)....
