Niche Posted October 10, 2008 Report Share Posted October 10, 2008 lmao I'd rather a 1.2 twin cam than a 1 litre. lol.There's a 3 cylinder turbo running around somewhere that will put a lot of cars to shame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver! Posted October 10, 2008 Report Share Posted October 10, 2008 I have a 1.0 and I love it. I have a GTi and I love it.I imagine if I'd bought a 1.4 instead of the 1.0 I would love it just the same. They are different cars with different reasons for being on this earth.I don't love the 1.0 on long hills and I don't love the GTi when I'm.... nope, can't think.Ray Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tigz™ Posted October 10, 2008 Report Share Posted October 10, 2008 The 1.0 rocks.I drove my 1.0 faster than I drive my GTI, just gives you so much confindence and you learn how to corner correctly.In the GTI you find yourself using the brakes.

And1Lupo Posted October 10, 2008 Report Share Posted October 10, 2008 i love my 1L and i have no problems with hills! i also enjoy my licence too much to want to go much faster than i can!Im starting to slow it down abit - in realising how easy it is to pick up over the speed limit, esp in the rain where i wouldnt like to end up in a ditch like many before.I onli find a bit of trouble in corners where the loop likes to wobble the feel of a bus - lowering shall prove to be productive in society in this case Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cardaft Posted October 10, 2008 Report Share Posted October 10, 2008 I'd rather a 1.2 twin cam than a 1 litre. lol.Having had a couple of 70bhp 1.2 ibiza 3pots as loan cars, one of which i had for 3 months, i can say there was only slight difference in real world performance to the 1.0, i was a little dissapointed with the last 1.2 i had the loan of, just all noise and no go. Im sure the first one felt better!I do like the 1.2 though, its got character Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cardaft Posted October 10, 2008 Report Share Posted October 10, 2008 (edited) The difference is that you had never driven a TDi when you had the first courtesy car. Once you go black, you never go back Errr... torque is addictive! Your right, and yes thats true, although i was impressed with your 55bhp polo! Ive done over 6K miles in 1.2 ibizas, great little engines, if i only drove in the town, id probably have one myself. I dont love my 1.0 for its engine though, obviously you dont buy them because you want acceleration and you dont really buy them for economy, i like it for the car it is, its special to me!

kreig Posted October 13, 2008 Report Share Posted October 13, 2008 They are great little cars. As mentioned by someone earlier amazing useful to learn in as you can mistakes round corners without costing you your life! Because its underpowered the amount of throttle you can give it roudn a corner before it starts to understeer is amazing. Mines up for sale atm as you may have seen in the marketplace... will be sad to see it go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
