Hi, I've had the opportunity to drive all three TSI engines, here are my thoughts:


  1. 160PS unit, (this is my car) averages just over 40mpg
  2. 122PS unit, this engine just feels a bit softer over the entire rev range compared to the 160 unit, very quiet until the top end which sounds very 'boomy', averages about 45mpg on the same roads/speed
  3. 105PS unit, softer again compared to the 122 unit. Averages about 50mpg


The 160PS engine only comes in GT format with 17" 225 tyres, however the other cars were running 15" 195 Ecocontacts. I did miss the firmer suspension and better brakes of the GT. But, if you never try a GT then you'll never know.
