    everyone, I am new here, just want to show my new C and make new friends!

    So far I pretty satisfied about this little car, the MPG makes me smile...... $40 filled it up, and ran forever ..... Lol
    But it's a little embarrassed when it goes uphill at 30 km/h, and it's moving as fast as it can......

    You are supposed to press your foot on the gas pedal. Lol
    Welcome to the group. I have had my C for 26 months and have not regretted my purchase.

    Welcome Pangking! My husband and I were just talking about the lack of guts in this car. I had shown him the pic of your yellow C and he enthusiastically said "I would consider that!" because he likes yellow! But I don't think he'd be happy with the power (since he likes to accelerate fast). I have been happy with every aspect of this car......except that!! It could certainly use more oomph! I have adjusted my driving style and 98% of the time it's not a problem. But once in a while.......OMG!!! I'M GONNA DIE!!! - because the 'little engine that could' is too slow. Welcome to the forum!

    You are right. It changed my driving style too, i am a young guy, and I gave my BMW 328i to my wife.....now I am driving like a old disability man and always keep myself on the right lane. While watching tones of car passing me from my left, I am kind of hear that voice said: really? Seriously? That's how fast you can run?
    .......why do you need so hurry to gas station? Hehe..... It's embarrassing though.....
    Nice meeting you!

    You don't have to stay in the right lane. The car will speed up, it just needs more time to do it, so you have to wait until there's a little more room before pulling into another busy lane.
