Hi
Sorry for this newbie question but I just spotted that my new (to me) 2008 i-DTEC is a full 226Kg heavier than my old i-CDTI (both manual 2.2L EX models).
And this means that although the i-DTEC has an extra 9bhp (147-138), it's 0-60 time is 0.7 seconds slower (9.8-9.1secs) than the i-CDTI.
Can anyone tell me what all that weight actually consists of? I mean 226Kg that is a heck of a lot of weight - fwiw, it's just over the maximum weight in the leg press machine in my local gym... (!)
But for what benefit?
