Hi,
Am looking at a new VW Golf (company car) and wondered if anyone has got or used the 2017 1.0 litre TSI model?

I'm wondering if it's a decent engine as it's a 3 cylinder 1litre engine which sounds a bit weedy but reviews seem good. I don't do much motoway driving, mostly 60 miles a day on A roads and occasional motorways.

Any comments appreciated.

    As its a company car get VW to lend you one for a weekend.

    Previous TSi engines have had design problems, after ten years VAG appear to have a design which is a little more successful.

    Thanks, good idea I'll do that and see how it goes.

    OP will need to contact someone other than the local franchise - I doubt the local franchise will want a demonstrator unavailable when they have 0% chance of a sale.
