Hi,
Regarding the Mini Countryman Cooper D with the 1.6 N47 engine there are some funny data that I still can't explain. The fuel consumption can be explained due to the aerodynamics, as the Cx is not very good, but there are some strange data regarding the performance:
0-100: 10,9 s. (10,5 s 116d ED)
80-120 (4 gear): 9,7 s. (10,2 s. 116d ED)
80 -120 (5 gear): 11,9 s. (14,2 s. 116 ED)
I still can't understand why using the same engine, the 116d ED is able to be faster than the Mini on the 0-100, but is significanly slower in the 80-120, specially in 5th gear as almost 2.5 secs seems to be too much...
With regard to the 118d, I agree that usually it worths to pay for the engine, but in my case, the car will be driven on highways at a moderated speed, so I think I don't need the 118d.
