2007 Renault Clio Two Wheel Drive Manual 8000 miles

when travelling up a hill the car loses power, if your doing 30mph ish then you have to drop down to 2 or 3, if on a motor and doing 80 plus then the car will slowly lose power and drop in speed sometimes as low as 50mph, first put it down to the fact that it is a 1.2 and a bit gutless, but wondering whether there is a problem with the car
