0 to 60 in 12sec's? tell me that's not true

[xuimod]

according to this website the Honda Fit goes 0 to 60 in 12sec's.

granted this is not the NA version but it can't be that slow can it? i always thought the Fit can do 0 to 60 in around 8 and 9 sec's.

depending on what model.. but the VTEC 1.5 GD3 can achieve the 8 - 9 seconds mark.. As reviewed by Mr Wong from Temple of VTEC Asia.. It is achievable..

8.9 sec using the Kevin Wong temple of VTEC Asia technique with the CVT of using manual mode 1st gear till redline and then shifting to S mode.

Real world times in Wheels and Motor were also consistent with around 9 sec.
