Standard Mi16's were never a road rocket anyway, although Euro spec ones were fairly well regarded in the nippiness department for their time.
The x4 is Euro spec but hampered by extra weight and driveline losses over the standard car as Peter said. I'd have thought a decent GTi 1.9 should have pipped the Mi in a traffic light drag. From memory they are pretty close to a Euro spec 2WD Mi16 in 0-100 time aren't they?
