agree with you on this. I found that my FC when I driving at 150kph is almost same as I driving at 110kph which is about 8.0l-8.5/100km when you know how to control your feet.

Hmm.. quite inline with what the article says. German cars 'among worst for engine failures'

yeah...driving at Taman or Town (slowing down for speed bumps and traffic light )from 0~70km/h is the worst FC

If really follow the digital FC reading on the center dash, very difficult to drive...more like become Road Hogger..in order to built up that momentum to 90km/h, cannot just press the accelerator...even if slightly, need to press release press release...but I do that toward the end of the month...waiting salary...
Other days, I just drive like normal.

Just wanna add for those interested in Getting Turbo cars (not those soft Turbo type), FC is of course important, but its not one of the main reasons for getting the car....totally opposite when you buy a hybrid car.

no problem...misunderstanding clearly

yeap. press release press release method can improve the fc alot. i have to use this in everyday drive as i have to commute more than 100km so really need to control my fc as much as posssible.

I was like you, I wanted to get the Polo Sport but when I saw an ordinary looking car that looks like a kancil powered by 1.2L turbo, I wasn't too keen because of the price at rm115k and its not so attractive design.

And then I saw the price list for Polo Sport GTi, at rm160k, I wanted to laugh myself to death...the price is ridiculous for a small car that is meant for hobbits. Not withstanding the engine is excellent and fuel saving but its priced like a luxury car in msia. To add, there were some crisis with the DSG transmission for the certain VW cars, Polo is one of them. It has tendency to make the car stall. But I heard its rectified, my friend don't have a problem with his Golf Gti transmission. I also read one poster who own a Golf Gti in lyn forum, according to him (I dunno how much true this is), he had a problem with his ABS, the SC offered to change it for RM10k. But he managed to get a second hand one at a private workship for RM2.5k. So be prepared to empty your pockets for higher spare parts cost.

Peogeot 308T looks way way cooler. Backside a bit ugly but hey it looks sportier than Polo. Plus it has back passenger air cond.

Go get the 308T.

but performance wise wouldnt the pologti own the 308?

depends also... the polo gti is also very harsh..

for practicality i think 308... that is if u cn accept the performance etc

ive seen similar thing in pug308t, preve cfe, and polo tsi.. drive fast, u get better fc... even pug308t, 120km/j is better fc than 80km/j.. and preve cfe, 120km/j is better than 70-80km/j... i am aware of the statement "run below 2k rpm to save fuel" but in the real world, it didnt happen that way.. preve cfe is too heavy i guess..

preve not that quick either, but the 308 alot ppl mod i see can go up to 238km/h crazy haha

the turbo unit is exactly the same.. but weight-wise, preve had no chance smoking pug308t lah...

engine also the 308 not bad bro im sure after finetuning nicer

Polo FC is 9.5L/100KM.. press everytime there's empty space lol

if im not mistaken, the rurbo kicks in on 1.5k rpm. try to drive below that rpm and see the fc

i second this

but wtv it is its still a 1.6turbo only...dont go cucuk all the golf gti or mini cooper s haha suree get smoke

lololol

308T using twinscroll Turbo, are you sure preve has the same engine as 308T?
they dont even churn out the same torque and power..
