You'll find a lot of new cars are deliberately out of tolerance.
Most Subarus, Hyundais and Mazdas are also 9.9% out. ADRs stipulate that you cannot have a speedo reading under the actual road speed (ie displaying 100 when really travelling 101), however they can be out less than 10% the other way (displaying 109.9 when you are really doing 100). A mate I know returned his Mazda 6 back to the dealership and asked them to correct it but they showed him the right paperwork and that there is nothing actually 'wrong'. It's not a safety thing, it just makes the services roll over faster... QLD has gone silly with their new 'hooning' crap, and now this? What next, nanny road comfort noise comfort tax on any car producing more than 50dB?
