Megane GT 220 Estate

Fast wagons are great.. and the GT220 is a good looker (ugly interior and steering wheel though!)
But kinda seems slow with a 0-100km time of 7.6 when you compare to the Octvaia RS which is bigger and more practical (and faster)

The Skoda Octavia RS Hatch does 0-10kmph in 7.5 in Europe on 100 octane fuel
The Skoda Octavia RS Wagon here in Australia is more like 7.8 seconds
(but that can easily be improved)

Oh I thought the MKII octavia RS wagon was a bit quicker than that..
I know the MKIII RS is closer to the high 6's, low 7's but i guess that a different beast altogether

The last few posts are a good demonstration of how 0-100 is a marketing tool for vehicles.

On the way to work this morning, I was considering as I merged onto the freeway that I've no idea how fast (or slow!) My 0-100 would be, but my 80-120 is both satisfying and easy to do (simply pick one of the highest 3 gears and accelerate )

Sorry, OT.

I wish when they advertised cars performance figures they would give something more useful like 60-100 in 4th, or something to that effect.
