The 1.4 FSi has a 0-60 measured best on a sundial. One of the very few
vehicles I've ever driven that has barely perceptible acceleration. The Golf
SDi is another, the Rover non-turbo diesel 218 thing is possibly slower than
a misfiring 2CV.

SWMBO has had a 60bhp Seat Ibiza for about 5 years now. It redfines slow.
Strangely though, we have never felt the inclination to get rid of it.

We have acouple of Bitzer 1.4 75bhp's and to be honest their not slow at
all! Easily keep up with yer common-or-garden Focus 1.6's.

Amazing how the same engine can have split personalities...

Er, but the 1.6 focus IS slow. Painfully so.

And it was worse on petrol them my old Impreza !

I used to use a tenners worth for a return trip to work in the Impreza, so I
put a tenner in the Golf even tho it was on a quarter of a tank, returned it
on fumes. Same other then the lack of performance is was quite a nice car,
for a poverty spec model.
