does that mean that saxos are or arnt good aero dynamically?

hatchback will never be uber aerodynamic because of steep pressure gradient on the boot as air passes over it, but as hatchbacks go they're not bad as their frontal area is relatively compact.

Holy shit, aerodynamics > handling lol

i wondered how long that would take someone to realise lol

TBH there very aerodynamic if you look at the others in the list.

when i had spotlights fittedd to my front bumper, when there was anything more than a light breee you could feel the car being held back, and they where only small, amzing how such small differences can make such a big difference.

Its interesting stuff. Never thought of the Calibras as particularly streamlined but looking at em now they are pretty smooth

Drag?

General Motors EV1, drag coefficient of 0.195
And an experimental car:

Nuna, drag coefficient of 0.07
What is this drag you speak of?

Thats compared to the 106 with 0.34

Sorry, its from the other list to the Sax, not taking into account the area.

good reading
