![]() ![]() There aren't many innovations on the Golf 6 because it carried over almost 80% from the Golf 5, but I would say it’s an elegant design with class-leading finishes. My average is 7.5 and 9.4 on heavy acceleration, which is almost the same as my 2.0 FSI it replaced. Hill Assist is a notable improvement from the previous Golf and extends the lifespan of the clutch.įuel consumption is not even close to the 6. I always feel the handling is a step backwards from my FSI (with sport suspension) on tight corners at high speed, but it's very comfortable in normal driving. Fellow owners of cars using this engine agree that their passengers ask them if the car is a diesel. You don’t have to worry about changing down to fifth or fourth thanks, again, to the diesel-like torque availability. All you need to do is to check that it’s safe to move and your right foot will make it possible. Once the revs hit 1500rpm, you need not tamper with the gears only concentrate on the accelerator as the torque will do the job. Harsh acceleration from low revs make the engine sound very fragile, however the way this car delivers power is great - you can’t even feel when the turbo takes over from the supercharger. I love the early availability of torque at 1500rpm (240Nm) it’s way better than the high-revving FSI. I bought it for R235 000 with 7000km on the clock as the new price was not making any sense to me. ![]() The 1.4 TSI (90kW) was not going to do for me, so I went for a demo 118kW supercharged/turbocharged TSI Highline. I decided to replace it at 90 000km with a Golf 5.5 (6) because I was used to the 110kW engine from the Golf 5. After owning a Golf 5 2.0 FSI Sport line for more than three years, I had reached that time of servicing the car from my own pocket as the motor plan had expired at 60 000km. ![]()
