Hello there mates!I want to share a misunderstanding i have between the official measures Fiat gives for bravo t-jet 150 and all the car magazines here in Greece.To be more specific Fiat announce the following measurements:
0-100km/h(or 0-60Mph) in 8.5secs and 8.2secs in over boost mode and a weight of 1275kg.Now the car magazines write that the 0-100km/h(or 0-60Mph) is completing in 9.6secs(!!!) and the car's weight is 1570kg(!!!).Please can you tell me who is wrong and who is right?What are the measurements in your countries that magazines gives?

1275 kg and 8.5/8.2 are correct.
 
I don't think that anyone here in Greece has weight the car that much!The worst numbers i have seen from a Greek magazine are 0-100km/h in 9.1 sec and 1425kg weight.
Italian magazines are saying 0-100km/h in 8.5 to 8.8 sec and 1320 to 1400 kg.
 
In power techniques magazine in its power data section writes for bravo t-jet 150, 0-100 in 9.6 secs and weights 1570 kgs.Also drive magazine refers to the 0-100 measure in 9.6 secs but not at the weight.I wonder if there is a game playing out there against fiat as the same situation stands for grade punto t-jet as well.I still haven't weight the car in my own but at 0-100 is far faster than 9.6secs.I recorded some videos on my mobile doing the 0-100 and it s about 8.5secs maximum.
 
Are the figures they are quoting for 0-60 fiat's or actual tested figures. There was a review of quoted 0-60 times on 5th gear last week and the 3 cars tested came nowhere near their relative manufacturer's quoted figures.
 
Which model do you mean for Croma because there's not such model here in Greece since the 80's or 90's Croma.The point is this,i can accept a difference between Fiat and any other magazine because of the different conditions that took place during the test.For example ext.tempereture,road conditions if it's wet or not,tyre's condition etc.But 1.4 seconds difference is not acceptable cause of these differnces.it seems to me like Fiat measured a bravo t-jet and the mags a panda 100hp!:)
