Are there still issues with Volkswagen 1.5 TSI engines?

I am considering a new Volkswagen Golf 1.5 TSI. Can can you tell me if there are still issues with this engine. There were reports of the car "kangarooing" and a number of complaints, as I recall, but I was wondering if these issues had now been resolved.

Good news is that those issues with the 1.5 engine appear to have been resolved - we've not head any reports from owners of late and having driven several 1.5 TSI models ourselves, have not experienced any issues first hand either.
