Is this the same engine in the Golf GT except down tuned from 170bhp?

the golf engine has a turbo and a supercharger

this engine just has the turbo

Thats a bit unfair

 

[Igor23]

The golf gt that I test drove was ok. but the power delivery was somewhat agricultural and primitive compared to FR which I also tested, this engine I think whilst being fairly green, will be very dull to drive....

It depend what your after, afterall how fast can you drive nowadays... for a town car its probably a pretty good decision - economical and nippy round town.

yes but what you guys are forgeting is this replaces the 1.6!!! need i say more
its more ecomomical, lower tax
faster than a 1.6
newer design of engine
and its a turbo
this apeals to the lower end of the market ie for 18, 19, 20 year olds who cant afford the fr but want turbo car
much much better than the 1.6

I reckon it could be a car for my wife. She wants an Eos but does like the Leon, and that little engine will be great for tax and nipping around. 0-60 aint all that matters

 

[Marsden1002]

when i drove the 1.6 is was a bag of junk, hence why i went for the 1.9tdi.

Didnt top gear say the Golf GT had so much lag and was a very poor car?

0-62 in 9.8 secs and 125 PS isn't too bad.

A lot of standard cars still have less power and a 0-62 time worse than that. That's quicker than my Mk 1 1.8 Focus was.

Some people don't want/can't afford a performance car so it should suit them down to the ground.

Sounds alright to me for the type of car that it is...

I used to have a Mk2 Golf GTI years ago... that had 114 BHP and felt like a rocket at the time as i wasn't used to any more power!
