Which VW Golf to go for?

I am going to buy a Volkswagen Golf 1.5 eTSI mild-hybrid 115hp. Is it worth getting the 150hp instead?

Hi Ahmed,

It really depends on where you do most of your driving, and how many people you tend to carry around. The 115hp model is fine around town and at lower speeds if you're on your own, but if you have three other people on board regularly, or you often drive in hilly areas, you'll appreciate the extra performance of the 150hp engine. There won't be much of a difference in the real-world fuel economy.
