I wanted to discuss the way in which the multipla delivers it's power. For a start I usually drive a Fabia vRS and it is very different.
The Multipla isn't too bad off the line, but with a/c I have stalled it setting off no end of times which is very annoying. But the turbo kicks in at around 1500-2000 rpm you can hear the whistle and it smoothly pulls to 3000 revs where I usually change gear or indeed earlier depending on the circumstance; however once in a while I will 'pin it down' which is revving it to just before the governor enabling the car to stay in that 3000rpm+ margin, which I feel is a bit of a power band. It seems to rush round the rev range beyond 3k. It doesn't often sound too happy about it though, and thus it only gets used for overtaking or the odd slip road sprint.
Can anyone explain technically what is happening, or indeed if someone has a power graph I would like to see that.
