    I did a test drive 2 weeks ago and I found the power of this turbo diesel (125kw) is not as bad as what I first thought. VW claims 0-100 in 8.6 secs but I noticed the car goes pretty fast from stand still to 60-70km/h. I would have thought the car goes as fast as my MPS6 from 0-70km/h but after 60, my MPS will start pulling away for sure as it has got more power. I was amazed by the VW/Audi diesel engineering. Excellent fuel consumptions with this sort of accerleration. I guess my decision of buying this car is correct. 4 and 1/2 months to go....

    the Mazda MPS 6 had a 0-100 of around 7sec IIRC... so it would definately feel a bit faster esp over the 60kmh mark.

    I no longer want to be launched to warp speed in a millisecond, prefering instead to go business class with a sporty feel so the 125kw suits me just fine.

    BTW I could not find the MPS6 on the mazda website... has it been dropped from the lineup?

    To be exact, the MPS 6 runs from 0-100km in 6.4s.
    The reason i bought the Passat because I wanted to lower the running costs of the car and my missus prefers luxury over performance. The Passat has it all. I will start selling my MPS6 when times get closer to delivery.

    Yes, production of the 6 MPS has been ceased as the new 6 has just been released not long ago.

    Richdave,

    Just a quick one for you. I am just wondering whether you could open/close the sunroof with the key remote control. I know you can open/close the windows by holding down the button on your remote control but would it open/close the sunroof as well. Give it a try and let me know if you never done it. Many Thanks
