Had my car for 2months now and when i first got it it felt so rapid and now it dosnt feel as fast i have to really give it some to feel a buzz can a K&N pannel filter reduce my cars preformance! Or have i just got used to the power?

Get a proper k&n induction kit on her buddy, the panel filter is doing bugger all thumbs

yes get a proper K&N and yes I suspect the panel K&N doesn't let quite as much air through than standard factory one.

Depends where you live. Jam-Sport in Northampton charge £50 for a dyno run I think

I'd say you've probably got used to it too.

Cheers mate, and im starting to think its just me getting used to it because if there was a problem surely with the amount of sensors on cars these days a light of some sort would come on if there was a problem!

I love my fiesta ST-2
Best car ive had so far! 🚘

I would say you have just got used to it. I had a Toyota aygo 1.0 for 5 weeks whilst mine was getting repaired. When I drove mine again it felt well fast.
