I have a 1.4 and I have never thought it was as slow as you describe it, was about the same acceleration as my dt 125.. although that topped out at 75

look on the bright side, at least yours tells you how fast it's going. 
mine's the 1.6 8v and tbh I've been a bit surprised how quick it isn't in 5th aswell, lovely flat torque curve but never seems to fly. Used to peaky Italian engines.

I have a 1.1 but it's loves to rev! I've never had a problem getting to 70 but if I wanna go any faster it does take a little while unless I downshift, mine has just has a full service though so maybe best to get it serviced asap
