UK-POLOS.NET - THE VW Polo Forum

Hi new member with a question , hopefully i will soon be in a position to buy a new Polo 1.2 TSI Sport (i live in Spain) i think this is a similar model to the SEL ,

How do you think the 1.2 TSI engine will cope with a regular journey down and back up a hill , i live about 7 km approx 4 miles up the side of a mountain range sounds dramatic but it's not just a gentle incline about 430 metres above sea level ?

Also is the multi function steering wheel worth opting for? I've read a few posts saying they wouldn't have bothered if they'd known it didn't control the computer only the radio ?
(I love looking at all of the fabulous photo's you all post)

hi there, definately recommend the 1.2 tsi, it has plenty of go to get up hills and mountains fully loaded. Still cant believe its only 1.2.

Thanks I was hoping you would say that

I can second this. You wouldn't believe it's a 1.2. Have you driven one?

No they only had diesel polo's , over here in Spain the TSI engine is not seen much except for the Golf 1.4 TSI . plenty of diesels as the hire companies use them
