>>Your wife drives an Audi that can't do better than 0-60 in 6.5 seconds?

How is that surprising? Unless you go for the really expensive ones with top-spec engines, you're normally looking at 7-8s to 60mph. As an example, the Q3 can be had with 6 different engines, and only the range-topping 45 TFSI breaks the 6.5s barrier at 6.3s to 60mph. All other engines are slower.

A1 can be had with 3 different engines, and the fastest one does 0-60 in 7.7s.

Really, the only Audi where <6.5s to 60mph is "standard" is the A8, with the slowest engine being the 50 TDI that does 0-60 in 5.9s. The second model in line, the A7, starts with a 40TDI that does 0-60 in 8.3 seconds.

It's pretty surprising because the comment seemed to imply that the same Audi might also end up on a track.
