Sure the weight of the metal is 970kg fully laden?

Must be closer to the 1100 mark surely?

MyCarCheck on iOS says it's 1045kg. Not sure if that's correct or not.

There's soooooo many weights for the Mk7 bouncing around. I just picked the lowest

Its probably around 1100 to be honest

Logsi · 5 Apr 2013 at 22:41

I was hopeful of it being 970kg!

But with all the gubbins we get in the Metal it's probably not.

Rossdh · 5 Apr 2013 at 22:59

True!

I bet the seats weight quite a bit...

GT3 · 5 Apr 2013 at 23:24

According to rolling road graph and book weight of my 1989 peugeot. 180 bhp and 850 kg.... 211 bhp/ton

Maybe not accurate but its nippy!

Would be nice to see 0-60 times to. Would be interesting to see how much the order of the list changed.

Would be nice that this wasn't the most factually inaccurate thread on the Internet.
