I'm driving A3 2,0 FSI and decided to test a bit, how the car accelerates from 60 to 120km/h. One Finnish magazine (Tekniikan Maailma) tested this car and gave it following results:
III: 10,5s VI: 23,4s
Apparently the test was made at the summer, temperature being about 20C. I myself tested last night, while temperature was -8,0C
I got the following results:
III: 8,4s VI: 19,4s
The difference is huge. I also clocked a lot lower results with IV, but I lost that accurate reading, however it was over 2s faster also than what the magazine clocked.
I haven't found any net-publish giving out 60-120km/h results, so I'm little lost here. Did the temperature really make that big difference, or did they have a bad car?-) My 6th gear acceleration even had little uphill on the end (the gar actually accelerates pretty well at higher revs, while at 60km/h the 6th was pretty slow ;))
I couldn't test 0-100km/h (0-62mph), since there was too much ice, my ESP light was on all the time.
Anyone with 1,9TDI/2,0TDI btw who could also provide some of their own results? Would be nice to compare (2,0 TDI should fastest with IV gear, not III).
