That is correct thinking about it. Also includes luggage. Others don't do the same though, ford for example don't add any weight for their figures? So why are Vw playing the performance down? Does it lower insurance or something?

It may lower the individual bracket that the car falls into with the national insurance body (i.e. Thatcham in this country), but wouldn't affect things too much in the grand scheme of things :happy2:
