I'd better add, before you mk6'ers start peeing yourselves with excitement, that Volkswagen Driver got 0-60 in 6.3 seconds in the mk5 DSG (200BHP) and 5.6 seconds in a manual Scirocco 2.0 TSI. They managed to get a mk5 200bhp manual to 60 in 6.0 dead and and ED30 DSG to 60 in 5.9
Same test drivers probably done on the same track.
I'll also add that anyone who actually tries magazine style 0-60s in their own car is insane!!! They rev the nuts off the thing and shift gear with the brutality of a seal clubber. And seriously, can you really tell differences of tenths of a second in a brand new tight car?
It's the in gear times that is of far more interest to me as it's real world stuff. Volkswagen Driver mag again tested the mk5 as quicker (just).
