Interior is still the carried over from the previous years which kind of sucks though.
Yeah, 0-60 times can be really misleading. If you have two cars with identical 0-60 times but one is doing an all-wheel drive launch and the other is RWD, it's the RWD car that is going to pull way way harder in 90 percent of situations.

Same thing with transmission, if you have a DCT car hitting 60 in 4.5 seconds and a manual that hits 60 in 4.5 seconds, while wasting like a second of that time on 2 gear shifts, you can be pretty well assured that the driver of the manual is going to experience more G forces every time they step on the loud pedal.
