Honda Jazz/Fit 1.5 130 vs Volkswagen Golf GTI (Mk8)

Over a standing quarter mile on dry asphalt the Volkswagen Golf GTI (Mk8) is the quicker car, covering it in 13.94 s at 101.6 mph against the Honda Jazz/Fit 1.5 130’s 17.98 s — a margin of 4.04 s. To 60 mph the Volkswagen Golf GTI (Mk8) takes 5.44 s and the Honda Jazz/Fit 1.5 130 10.91 s.

Simulated, not measured — computed from each car’s published kerb mass, rated power and drivetrain, then fitted to its own published acceleration figures. Dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

Questions

Is the Honda Jazz/Fit 1.5 130 or the Volkswagen Golf GTI (Mk8) faster?
The Volkswagen Golf GTI (Mk8). Over a standing quarter mile it runs 13.94 s to the Honda Jazz/Fit 1.5 130's 17.98 s, a margin of 4.04 s, and it reaches 60 mph in 5.44 s against 10.91 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What is the Honda Jazz/Fit 1.5 130 0-60 time?
The Honda Jazz/Fit 1.5 130 reaches 60 mph in 10.91 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 17.98 s at 76.9 mph.
What is the Volkswagen Golf GTI (Mk8) 0-60 time?
The Volkswagen Golf GTI (Mk8) reaches 60 mph in 5.44 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 13.94 s at 101.6 mph.
What trap speed does each car run?
The Honda Jazz/Fit 1.5 130 trips the lights at 76.9 mph and the Volkswagen Golf GTI (Mk8) at 101.6 mph at the end of the quarter mile. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
Are these real measured times?
No. Every time on this page is produced by a physics simulation, not by a stopwatch at a drag strip. Each car is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it matches its own published acceleration figures — 2 of 2 for the Honda Jazz/Fit 1.5 130 and 9 of 10 for the Volkswagen Golf GTI (Mk8). Conditions are identical for both cars: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
