What's the point of the "quietness test"? How quiet a "quiet approach" will be will vary with the tyres fitted and road surface it's running on.

It's probably one of the few occasions where you'll get comparable, real world performance figures for the cars. Interesting reading.

Now thats a very comprehensive test report, better than Top Gear, Autocar and the like.

I wonder why the police never looked at the Fabia VRS for panda cars?

0-60 time strangely sucks.

EDIT - Ahh, sorry, duh, it's the laden 0-60. Just goes to show the difference it makes.
