Acceleration from 10 to 30mph in top was accomplished in 14 seconds, the same test in third gear occupying 9 1/5th seconds, and other acceleration tests against the stop watch, through the gears were equally creditable.

Impressions at the Wheel
Taking over control of the "Ten-Four" on a cold day, and with the engine cold, we found the automatic thermostat a boon.  The engine warmed rapidly, and soon showed signs of a very pleasing liveliness.

The body has ample dimensions, but there is no suggestion that the power is by any means inadequate to carry.  On the contrary, the car climbed a considerable gradient - over which we have driven many cars of various types and sizes and which we know to be a fair test of staying power for a car - at a speed distinctly better than the average for its class, and seemed to have something in reserve when the summit was reached.

On the level we attained a maximum of 60mph in top gear, 45 in third and 28 in second gear, while on a slight down gradient we found the car would travel at well over 60mph."
