1.3 Punto CDTI is 90bhp. Nice and nippy and very cheap to run.

Just looked it up, and its "“turbocharged stratified injection”. This little 1.4 liter monster makes about 168hp and 240Nm of torque at 1750-4000rpm"

The TSI isnt that good IMO. If your only talking about 1.4's then ok, but if you want power then its silly to only look at 1.4's. For example, the 2.0L in the Golf GT is only 0.3 seconds slower to 62mph then the 1.4 TSI, the 2.0L has much much better MPG (20% more around town) and the 2.0L makes around 45% more torque than the TSI does, plus the 2.0L puts out less emissions meaning it falls into a cheaper tax band. The 1.4 TSI seems like a waste of time to me.

but its a 1.4 cheap tax, cheaper insurance. fast as feck. i fail to understand how these are not great selling points of it?
cos its a new car the tax goes off the emissisons, which on that arnt very good so i would imagine the tax is pricey. Also insureance companies arnt stupid, 170bhp hatchback is still gonna cost you.
but all that is irrelevant as the question was, whats the fastest.
