[wohi]

Sehr Anspruchsvoll ist auch der 1,4 L von VW mit Kompressor UND Turbolader ( 170 PS im Golf GT) . Dieser Motor ist derzeit das Paradebeispiel für Downsizing . Er ist dermassen drehmomentstark, dass VW ihn auch im Transporter T5 einsetzen will.

Lustig, dass gerade dieses Modell von der Legende Jeremy "Jezza" Clarkson in die Liste seiner 5 schlechtesten, jemals von ihm gefahrenen Autos eingereiht wurde http://driving.timesonline.co.uk/tol/lif...754961.ece

Hier ein Auszug:

...and then there was the truly woeful engine. It’s all very well having direct petrol injection and a supercharger to fill in the black hole while the turbo girds its loins: this is clever, but my God it’s jerky.

I like the power delivery of an engine to be smooth, like a ball bearing rolling down a child’s playground slide. In the GT it’s delivered with the smoothness of someone in a wheelchair falling down some stairs.

And where’s the power? If you’re going to stick GT badges on a car and claim it delivers 168bhp, then kindly give us some oomph to match. Time and again I had to change down on hills, and once, with my foot welded to the floor, I was overtaken by a Mercedes van.

The worst thing, though, is that the GT TSI fails to do any of the things that you might reasonably expect from a car. It doesn’t make the journey fun. It doesn’t isolate you from the sensation of travel. And it isn’t especially cheap. By the time I arrived in Falmouth I was fairly ready to push it into the sea...
