a friend of mine has a red one, tsi engine so turbo and supercharged, 180 bhp and it makes that figure where as we all know the 200 doesnt even make 190bhp and his revs to 8k! followed him onto the motorway in the early hours of this morning, i had a passenger and his car was empty.
both put our foot down in 3rd at about 60mph was dead even, just sat next to eachother, as soon as i hit triple figures he pulled 2 car lenghts instantly (his turbo kicked in) then he stays at 2 car lengths then i started to catch him back at around 120millimetres an hour then it was dead even again.
very nice car but has the edge when the turbo kicks in but the 200 slowly catches it.
the interior is lovely though and the noise it makes is quiet cool. very impressive for a 1.4 engine, great bit of engineering. he said it handles badly though so assume the 'twisties' is where the 200 woiuld really have the edge.
