Thats the difference between a petrol and a diesel. I thought my mx5 was slow at first, going round roundabouts in 4th and then trying to accelerate away in 4th - nothing! Gotta drop gears and get it in the powerband to go anywhere quickly. Not bad once you get used to it, but diesels are nicer to drive when you just mash your foot in any gear and it pulls hard from 2k+
