    I think that the latch cover checking has a double purpose. Making sure that you don't leave something in the boot.

    I don't know where he gets "0-60 in 8.5 secs" for the 230 Kompressor. The 99 models were 7.3 secs (auto and manual) and from 00' this was reduced to 6.9 secs. Quite a difference to 8.5 seconds!

  • @danmccarthy4700

    Come on... I know I can get to 60 much quicker than 8 seconds in mine... but you're spot on about that traction control. It makes the car the absolute worst in winter conditions. The TC will bog the car down until it comes to a complete stop.

  • @mistreku

    The 8.5sec time is taken from the automatic spec sheet, they never actually measured any times at all. The manual will do 0-60 in about 7.5sec, actually.

  • @SuperSw21

    8.5 Sec! My automatic 230 stock does about 7 seconds on a bad day. Manual should hit 60 in 6.8-6.9, but now mine does about atleast 6.8 with a few mods.

      SuperSw21 disappointed when I heard "8.5" seconds, but if it's closer to the 6-7 mark (looking at a manual), then that's more like it. What's it like to drive? Nice and sporty? Or a bit soft?

    • @logmeindangit
      @logmeindangit ปีที่แล้ว

      Read the posts. It's a spec from the manual, not a test done for the video. And my guess is they went high on the time so owners would be happy with shorter times.
