I have the same engine in the SEAT Ibiza. 1.2 8v only a single overhead cam, but direct injection and a turbo. Makes 105 PS and 175Nm in the model I have, but in the larger cars they tune it to 110 PS.
Most of the time it feels alright, about on par with a 1.6 16v engine but sometimes I miss the power of my old RenaultSport Clio.
- arethuza 11y agoI certainly don't miss the speeding tickets! I used to speed regularly - the last time I got a ticket I decided to stop speeding completely (I literally never go above the marked speed limits). So no worries about speeding tickets, use much less fuel, I find driving less stressful and it turns out that it doesn't seem to make a huge difference to how long it takes to get anywhere. Edit: I find it amusing that when I look into the engine bay of our Yeti that I can actually see the road in the gap behind the engine - probably makes it much easier to service!
