Err, no you didn't get it right!
To save you reading back through the thread, these are the road test figures from when the cars were tested by the magazine over the years.
They will all have been a similar age and had similar mileages. What is good to see is that they all have similar power and torque, weigh similar amounts and thus have similar performance. Small variables in the times are accounted for by weather differences and production tolerances between different cars. The fly in the ointment is the Scirocco which the editor raved about in his review so must have been a very good one or VW may have played with it a little. We'll never know.
So for the mk6, if VW quote 6.9 secs to 62.5 mph, then their test of 6.5 secs to 60 is bang on the nail really.
