A 1.6 in a car that light isn't all that slow. That's what, nine seconds? Not a race car, but cars used to be so much slower.
Yes, slow by modern (and my) standards but compared to older cars it's quite good.
And while peak power is low it makes decent torque in the midrange and is tuned well for daily driving.
