Is the 110tsi Power OK ?

[NZ_GolfR]

NZ-GOLF .. how can i turn ignition on? I press button once after i sat in the car to start the engine, and press once before leaving. With Audi, as i remember, first press is to turn ignition, but this one doesnt. Maybe im not really good in using these high tech car.... thats why ... please help... thanks

If you press the button without having your foot on the brake pedal it turns the ignition on but doesn't start the engine.

I've also got the 110tsi comfortline. The power is fine. We have 2 kids in car seats in the back and have done a few trips with it fully loaded with luggage and strollers etc with 2 adults, 2 kids. On the freeway overtaking is good, and acceleration from stop lights is as good as you will ever need.

I was also concerned about it being not powerful enough but before we bought we test drove the 110 and 132 back to back and I personally couldn't notice ant difference. It was easily the best driving experience of similar priced SUVs that we test drove all of which had at least 2L engines.

We decided to spend extra money on DAP and luxury pack rather than 4wd and a bigger engine, and have not regretted it at all.

The 110TSI is around 170kg lighter than the 132TSI so can get away with less power and not suffer too much as a consequence.

If you don't need AWD then the 110TSI is not a bad option in terms of value/bang for buck.

We bought one 2 months ago, is enough power to do anything normal, overtakes and gets up to speed just fine, happy with the 6spd dsg aswell, went for a long highway drive this weekend and is returning about 5.5l/100. Remember it's the same engine and tune as the highline golf, so it's no real slouch

Thankyou. Great info. The 5.5l/100 is pretty good.

Thanks for the info. This sort of real world info you can't really get from a car review site. I am thinking along similar lines with where should i spend my money. I doubt i will ever really need 4WD so i think i will be happy with a 2WD and better fuel economy and save that money for something else. Great to hear the power is OK with kids and luggage on board.

Thanks for the reply. Yes i had noticed the weight difference with the smaller engine and no AWD which must help with economy and power to weight. AWD would be nice but i think i would rarely need it and would be wasted on me. The 9.2 second 0-100 time of the 110tsi seems pretty decent.
