    When doing 0-60 tests were you in Sport/Advanced with the Traction Control off?

    it was set to advanced mode, with the traction control on. I confess that my timing consisted of holding my phone stopwatch in my left hand so all very unscientific... I'm now thinking that there's nowt wrong with the car apart from the pilot being a numpty.

    NEVER EVER try to replicate 'book' 0-60 times. You WILL knacker your car. Our cars are all about in gear ooomph. 0-60 is for the drag strip or 17 year old Saxo drivers.
    We would all struggle to outrun a modern high power German diesel, even if some of us would rather not admit it!

    The traction control really does hold it back. Just turn it all the way off. (It's dry and its AWD anyway).
