223km/h seems to be the real speed reached. Not bad, not too good either, just about right for the power its got. Whistle actually has little to do with aerodynamics, Its probably from the doors, and just about all cars have crap aero along the sides, its more like worn out or lacking seals around the door/window that is causing that.

@jedenszesc Indeed, and that light is always on when the engine isnt anyway (Since there is no pressure with the engine off), meaning no useful information can be had from it until the engine is started anyway. So Yeah. It doesnt matter.

@lbnewell23 Well, its neither good nor bad, its par for the course of "modern" cars with just a smidge under 200hp. There were those 30 years ago as well. But as a small estate back then it had more power than most, yes. Yep, the wind whistle can come from multiple sources, but its not that it isnt "the pinnacle of arodynamics" in this case, since we see that the car hasnt got any protruding stuff, which wouldnt be factory fitment anyway. I am pretty sure its just the doors not sealing correctly. A majority of cars suffer from this at higher speeds. It doesnt affect top speed. Not busting your balls here with this post, honestly. Hope it doesnt come across like that. Just clarifying some details. Cheers.

@ What is the purpose of that? Never been needed in any car I have heard of.
