Ahhh I see my mistake, I just searched 1.4tsi and used the golf variant, not twincharger. My bad there.




Now those specs impressive

Small thing. Understandable as there are many variants of the 1.4 tsi and also various tunes too. The spec you came across is probably the one with just a single turbocharger making around 122 hp maybe? If so that is found in the Audi A1 sold here.

Imagine a 1.4tsi with a CVT attached

I hate cvt. That whiny neither here nor there engine note pisses me off. It's partially why I skipped the lancer gt sold locally.

Really good discussion and info here.....I am learning quite a lot. Nice for people to get together and share information and ideas, help fill in the missing pieces of your own knowledge base

I still stand by my original statements yuhno, just I made a mistake and admitted I was wrong on one front.

1.4 tsi highway driving - if I drive like a maniac (which i do enjoying doing with this car) about 30 to 35 mpg. If I driver extremely conservative then i can pull off around 45 to 49 mpg (slow and uninspired driving 60 to 80 kmph)

Non-highway driving, 25 to 35 mpg average about 30 mpg

All MPG quoted are US mpg
Anyone with figures from the japanese 1.5 to 2.0 L engines care to chime in?

Nicee. I hoping they bring the polo with a 1.2tsi in Nov. That would def be high on my list.

I get 14.4 km/l on my 1.6l SX4 which equates to 33.4 mpg. I drive pretty average, and with AC all the time. If I drive really conservative it goes up to about 16.7 km/l or 39.3 mpg.
My dad has a 1.8 (2ZR-FE) corolla axio, which gives an avg of 38 mpg with mixed driving.

Your dad hada be making plenty highway runs with that mileage I suppose

I don't find CVT's that bad ... fuel econ on them is amazing. Yes you can get a whining drone but that's only if you accelerate really slowly and the transmission is constantly adjusting the gear so you dont get drop then rise in power. The newer ones can fall back to gear presets and feel like a normal transmission when you need the power.

Oh really?
Best of both worlds then.

Yeah but a jack of all trades is a master of nothing. Even tho it can fall back to gear shifts, the shifts are really slow from gear to gear. Very complex transmission also!

[DJ Q]

My rover can stay @ 1900 rpm from 0 - 90 kmph.

Love that.

What size engine? CVT transmission?

[DJ Q]

It soo fcukin sweet..!

429k tho...

[acesinghit]

my wife's jetta 1.4 tsi vs my a4 1.8t
7 speed dsg vs 8-speed multitronic.

both cars are evenly matched until 110-115kmph where my a4 pulls ahead due to power and torque advantage. The Jetta is lighter and the DSG is more efficient in utilizing the available power. CVT's are not efficient as some manufacturer's claim them to be like Nissan but having Audi's version to the CVT makes a big difference over those Nissans. But then again, my car is not NA where the Nissans I drove are those HR15DE roro Tiida/Wingroad nonsense.

Moving along, the Jetta performs better than the non-refreshed A4's ie. 118kW / 250Nm motors with the 6-speed multitronic. Those TSI Jetta's have the same 118kW output and slightly less torque at 240Nm.

A 2012 Camry with a 2.5L DOHC 16V dual VVT-I would not stand a chance next to a Jetta and as a 1.6T Nissan Juke owner found out recently, despite getting better at shifting not even that frog could pass a Jetta.

Wait until you guys see the new Octavia. Those who singing the hater tune will soon be silenced.

Preach Brother Hit !!

[aidan]

^Really wana see that new Octavia.

Saw a new foucs on the road. they have a mean looking front

[drchaos]

Mean looking front but lame engine on that focus ... If ANSA only saw the light and brought the 1.6T.

Yeah that duke have slightly better numbers than the jetta but the jetta transmission tuned to perfection when it comes to speed. The next thing is its lower with less drag.

[NorStar2K]

[dogichi]

That new Octavia though is not my cup of tea, doesn't really impress me. The interior not bad, the exterior needs work....not my style

[Allergic2BunnyEars]

In the right spec I would take the new Octavia over the current Jetta.

[Adjudicator]

I see what you mean there and I agree although my "right spec" and yours may differ lol.
You just practically get a VW at a lower price. Can't beat that

[Renaldo25]

and if you think thats nice you should see the new octavia vrs. pity we dont get the really good stuff ....
in an unrelated note saw an a5 s line in the mall today....4 mufflers, beautiful engine note, sweet, wide and low, dem germans could really make you fall in love with a machine....and somewhat related saw a new porsche cayman or boxster on the highway last week.....wow....just whoosh and it was gone.... stuff of dreams
