It feels faster than it is... a result I am sure of the short 1st and 2nd gear.

I am guess a 7.5 second car? Can it out accelerate a Mini (non turbo)?

 

I've seen several different numbers on the 0 - 60 time for the stock Xd, everything from 7.9 - 8.4 sec. It definately feels faster than that to me though.

 

best just to time yourself. a lot of sources are biased in their times, etc. (consumer report gave it a 9.7???)

 

8.3-8.4

 

I believe edmunds gave it an 8.4...?

On test drive it felt a little pokey on the initial accel, but once i was over 30 it started to really pick up surprisingly.

Anyway, I drove it once lol. I'll reserve total judgment until my xD comes in and I drive a few thousand on it : P
