I have a sedan w/ all pristine tires, a pristine spark plug and a worn battery. I can get the car moving, but it can never go faster than 20 kph. I have tried every gear, but still it tops at 20 kph. Plz help.

Youve gotta work it up slowly, cant change gears fast. Spam Q to get into reverse, press E twice so you can get into first gear, and switch up from there as you're driving to slowly build speed.

You'll know when to switch gears by when it starts sounding stupidly high-pitched.

Try repairing all of the tires again; just quickly right click on each of them in the car's open inventory, and repair if the option is given.  I don't know if the procedure for repairing tires is different for old UI, as I have been using new since .59 exp.
Also, rotate the tires; you will know you have done it correctly once it shakes and makes noise, and the tires no longer clip into the ground.  If you are still using old UI, you will need a lug wrench to rotate the tires.  It is best to do this on a level surface.
If the car is still performing very poorly, you can sometimes remedy it by having other drivers try the car.  If this particular car has a lot of miles and wear on it, there is a possibility that it can be 'worn out'.
>>>I've seen this happen to several cars, and the best option would then be to destroy the car, and then recapture the new one that spawns to replace it.  A shotgun or FAL is the quickest tool to finish-off a crippled car, and sedan spawn points tend to progress east and then north from their initial positions.
