Hi all,
I have been offered a Gen 5 MY12 2.5i Liberty sedan from a relative for a very good price - it has 210,000km on the clock, but has a perfect service history and has been really well maintained since new by the owner - so presents very well despite the age and kms. Issue is that I took it for a drive the other day and it seemed really sluggish and had a serious lack of throttle responsiveness.
I know this is probably to be expected with a relatively small engine in such a heavy car (polishing a turd and all that...), but am wondering if there is any cost effective way to get a bit of an improvement in performance or throttle responsiveness? Is it worth looking into tuning/remapping to get a bit more out of it?
Will look at replacing the head unit with something a bit more modern, but any other mods worth looking at? Will likely only hang onto it for a couple of years until I can get something better, so won't be looking to drop a heap of cash into it.
Apologies in advance if this has been answered already - have had a decent trawl through the forums, but can't find much about this for the Gen 5.
Cheers!
