Hiya all,
I recently got myself a TL magna, and am curious as to the expected 0-100 and 400m times.
It's dead stock (for now!) and judging by the specs 155kw and 1537kg, should be pretty quick even in standard form. I'm guessing the tiptronic isn't worth any bother in getting quicker times...

You're looking at low 16's, maybe high 15's if you're a light guy.
And yes use tiptronic to perfect your shift points.

Nice buy dude, for what you pay for em you get a lot of car!
Dont give the auto too much stick tho, the 4sp auto isnt as tough as the 5sp or the manual.

dude in my opinion i think you should be able to get a 15.7-15.9 easily, my TJ awd with fat heavy rims on it full tank petrol and fat driver ran a 15.9 stock on a warmish day.... now a 2wd lighter more efficent model should do the 1/4 quicker easily.... and the awd traction advantage means nothing as stock there isnt enough power on the road for there to be an advantage...
so 15.8 and 0-100 in low-mid 8's

Thanks everyone - I had imagined something in the mid to high 15's, which isn't bad at all for a standard family car!
Yeah, I picked it up for peanuts, so I'm pretty happy with it.
