0-60 time for the 150 TDi is 7s but the 0-80mph is 13.1s compare that to mine 7.6s to 60 and 12s to 80.

Look at the 'in gear times' thou.

I very much doubt if you're 50-70 in 5th is anywhere near that

The golf is miles heavier than your biscui... I mean clio.. the faster you go, the less the extra weight of the Golf will effect it..
If you raced on the dual carrageway 50-100 my moneys on the golf
