UK-POLOS.NET - THE VW Polo Forum

Hi,

I want to know if the claimed time for the Polo GTI's 0-100 km/h in the manufacturers booklet is done with the ESP ON or OFF?

When I overtake other cars on the road with the ESP on, I can feel that the power is held back when I shift gears. Without the ESP it is a rocket!

I have a feeling it might have been recorded with the ESP on. Wheels magazine has recorded a best 0-100km/h (0-62mph) of 7.8sec, 0.4 under VW's claim, which would have been with the esp off.

FYI, the best 0-400 time they recorded was a 15.6 which isnt too bad for 110kw.

I would have thought it was with the ESP on too.

When i turn mine off i just wheel spin all over the road lol, but it tends to rain here just bout everyday! Roll on summer!!!
