1.2 (60 Hp) Verdict:
Performance Verdict
A very basic engine, it struggles significantly outside of urban environments and feels sluggish even in city traffic.
Fuel Economy
Only efficient if driven very gently; otherwise, it can be surprisingly thirsty due to the need to constantly push it.
Pros and Cons:
Pros:
- • Excellent value for money, offering VW Group quality at a lower price point.
- • Practical and spacious interior for a supermini, with good boot capacity.
- • Wide range of efficient and capable engines, including modern TSI petrols and TDI diesels.
- • Solid build quality and generally good reliability.
- • Comfortable ride, especially on smaller wheels, making it suitable for longer journeys.
Cons:
- • Interior plastics can feel a bit hard and uninspiring compared to some rivals.
- • Some entry-level engines are underpowered, struggling outside of urban areas.
- • Styling, even after the facelift, is quite conservative and lacks flair.
- • Road noise can be noticeable at higher speeds, particularly on coarse surfaces.
- • The ride can become firm on larger alloy wheels, impacting comfort.
