Small engines in golf? Good? Bad? Ugly?
Thank you for helping me out with my previous question. If the 1.2TSI models on a Polo are good what's your opinion on the 1.2 TSI 85 engine in a 3-door Golf? Would it be underpowered to the point where it's actually less efficient than a larger engine? And does the 1.2TSI 105PS engine warrant its higher price?

it works surprisingly well. Is actually nicer to drive than the Polo 1.2TSI 105.

Comfortable and quiet on the move, enjoyable to drive. Nicely trimmed with great attention to detail. 1.4 TSI sweeter to drive than a diesel.
