Yes these engines don't have much torque, so the only way to make them go is to rev them hard, I use second gear on one of my local hills, it flys up in second or will just about make it in third, but much much slower. So use those gears and revs
Yeah, low gear hills aren't to much bother, it's when your doing 70-80mph foot down and the car starts dropping in speed, but I guess I'm hoping for to much from a 1L :wasntme:
