i'm curios. Do you think this engine+gearbox is better than the seat/skoda 1.5tsi 130hp dsg? Would you buy vw group or for the first time you'd choose the opel ? I'm one of those that would think about the opel first. Las gen 1.2 engines were quite fragile in the cooling department. They would brick because of overheating in specific scenarios as they weren't designed properly. I don't know about the current gen though.
