You can't just ask that broad of a question and expect a decent answer... I'm gonna say it's because of the driver or because it's just a slow car.

Try a higher octane fuel or changing the oil once in a while.

It is a stick or an auto? What engine does it have? How many miles? Any more info will help a great deal.

might as well box it up and mail it back to japan...specially if its losing compression....it could be how u drive...but more than likely its a technical prob sum where causing it to lose compression.. i kno i jus like totally copied eyes but lol i did throw in the possiblility that it could be a the driver but more than likely its a the motor.. whats other things u notice about it.. is it only when taking off.. what gear does it start to get sum more balls lol
