The car is quick enough with premium fuel you can really tell the difference. Most cars i mess about with on highways or wherever, that are of same caliber in tenrs of speed, Porsche panemara ( v6 diesel) Golf GTI, Focus ST, 320d, E350 Merc, and many more which are similar in power i have generally beaten or kept up with at least to their shock in the 25d using shifters of course.

Just get a proper remap done after the warranty finishes. If you wanted something faster than what you had, you should have gone for a lesser brand with more Power with the sane budget. This is more than quick enough for a mini Suv.

I tried the RaceChip Ultimate box But have sent it back ..They gave me a Full refund...The Racechip did not show any noticeable gains in acceleration .. very disappointed ..
So i gave the TMC Box from Ed_rx7 a try and boy this does work!..
I have finally got round to doing some proper tests runs...On private road..Using the Racelogic Vbox sport..

Here are the results without the box
0 to 60 mph 7.01s
1/8 mile 9.79s@76.9 mph
1/4 mile 14.92@97.6 mph

Full tank of Fuel BP Ultimate 4 Passengers Sports mode + Sports mode Auto handbrake on just planted foot hard down..
Here results with TMC Box setting 7

0 to 60 mph 6.26
1/8 9.37@80.1 mph
1/4 14.32@101.1 mph

Very happy with the results..

I have not tested it on a rolling road HP results on a dyno dont mean any thing to me ..only real world results matter...
When accelerating off a local roundabout i now have to lift off the accelerator

before i could accelerate without lifting off..the car gathers speed much faster Than the above figures suggest..
Thanks for Ed_rx7 for letting me have the TMC Box

!
Well worth the asking price..Oh and it now leaves those pesky Focus STs well behind...

Great write up sasman..... glad you like it. Knew you wouldn't be disappointed......without the passengers must be close to sub 6 secs I think!
