Is the 1.2 TSI engine strong enough for the Volkswagen Golf?

I'm wondering if the 1.2 TSI engine is strong enough for the latest Volkswagen Golf.

Thanks,

Margaret

Hi Margaret,

Yup, plenty strong enough. So much so that the first time I drove it I thought that I was driving the diesel. In fairness, it was late and I was tired but it's still a cracking engine, potentially Volkswagen's current best.
