QUOTE(Newbie838 @ Oct 3 2017, 01:59 PM)
Is it just me or does our turbo engine feel out stamina on really hot days? Today is the second time I encountered this. It was about 35-37 degrees outside (based on the temp indicator in the meter) and the car has been in the sun for 1.5 hours. I got in, started, switched the AC to 21 degrees and drove on normal mode. When I reached the highway about 5 minutes later, I felt like the car was struggling to get past 100. I had to push it harder to even keep up with a Vios in acceleration.
This is the second time in a month that I've felt this way....both times after lunch on a hot day. No such issues in the mornings or nights so far.
Any thoughts?

I actually experience the same thing. Though it’s not very sluggish, but I can feel that the car is not as powerful when compared to morning/night time. Initially I thought I was oversensitive. Not sure if this is the characteristic of the car? Lol

After some search online. It seems like it is a general characteristic for cars to have poorer performance under heat. Though it can be more pronounced in turbo cars. Generally, turbo engines (NA too) would perform much better with cold air (cold air have higher density compared to hot air).
