Now I have a Polo 1.2 just for today.
Some things that caught my attention:
- Comfortline seats are softer, I do miss some support.
- when you're used to a lowered car with big rims... a stock car feels scary
very whooly.- gears are shorter. Engine makes more rev's.
- a late 2004 car with a lot of rattles in the dash. Also the brakes vibrated and the clutch felt heavy. (has done only 2500 miles) Some people do wreck cars when it's not their own.
The 1.2 engine is :
- a lot more economical.
- makes that funny 3-cylinder noise, can't say I dislike it. On high rev's it has a sniff of a boxer-engine.
- has more torque, so driving around town goes more smoothly.
- doesn't feel much slower than a 1.4
Concluding: Knowing this I think I would not spend the extra money for a 1.4 again.
