  1. Mazda 2.0 SkyActiv-G >>>>>>>>> VW 1.4 TSI And by a considerable margin too.

  2. Exactly. Far better.

  3. Yes, and the 1.6 THP powers a wide range of PSA cars. That doesn't stop it (or the TDI) from being a draconic piece of rubbish.

  4. Rohit lad Poor reliability, including absolutely atrocious electrics on GTE hybrids, maintenance-heavy DSGs, TSI engines needing a new timing chain belt every five seconds and wasting more oil than the US military and of course the diesel fraud say otherwise. Dull, uneventful handling and unoriginal design are salt in the wounds. The Skoda/Seat/VW/Audi spectrum is hopelessly miscalibrated, with the cars becoming more unpractical and unreliable as we look further up VAG's supposed internal food chain. Audis exist solely to charge more for Skodas, VWs ride on reputation, Seat is stuck between sporty ambitions and dull underpinnings and Skodas are great cars hampered by unreliable VW tech. Adding insult to injury, the definitive worst car in the world is a VW, specifically the Polo Bluemotion diesel. It appears that VW's engineering prowess ran out after the legendary but fairly irrelevant Veyron, the brilliant but woefully unsuccessful Pheaton and the undeniably good but monstrously ugly Bentayga.

  5. The downside to the TwinAir is its real world economy, which is ridiculous compared to the claimed engines.

  6. Idimi Dodjimi I've heard otherwise from reviewers, but I guess that's not true then :)

  7. Richard Fanders Naturally aspirated 2.0 four-cylinder petrol with somewhere between 120 and 165 bhp depending on model. Though no slouch, it lacks low-end torque compared to turbo rivals, but it's much more satisfying and sporty for it, and sounds better too. On paper, the SkyActiv-G is not as economical as its turbocharged rivals despite being featured in Mazda's lightweight lineup, but it uses less fuel in the real world. This is because turbo engines are easier to manipulate the European test cycle with.

  8. S Miller 60 mpg on average is already underwhelming, let alone if that's the motorway figure.

  9. S Miller A 1.4 with a 0-60 time of just over 7 seconds? Which one is that? Off the top of my head, that can only be a GTE (which is supposed to do about five million mpg if the test cycle is to be believed) or a Polo GTI.

  10. S Miller The fast versions appear to be an exception, then. sic22l It sounds very pure and while it lacks low-end torque, it's fast enough and has a satisfying torque curve.
