Which 1.4 TSI?

You have steered me away from the higher powered versions of this engine and so (bearing in mind the requirement for more space than a Golf Plus), which would you suggest as the most successful application of this engine in 122PS form?

I like the idea of a Fabia VRs estate still, nearly new, and wonder if I could request the dealer swap the wheels for smaller rims - would you foresee any issue, supposing they agree?

The Fabia VRS has a turbo/supercharged version of this engine. Unfortunately the Polo/Fabia/Ibiza ride better but don't handle as well on taller rubber. Why not an Audi A1 1.4TSI 122 SE?

Great performance from buzzy 1.4 TSI engine. Very precise in corners. Firm but forgiving ride. Nicely weighted steering. Impressively economical.
