The 1L engines seems to consume a lot as well when driving in mountainous areas compared to 2L. I think they are designed mostly for city driving. The 1 litres also vibrates a lot.
It is because 1l engines work overtime on mountainous areas and 2l deliver power effortlessly and yess I agree with you that they are designed to be city cars and they also vibrate a lot due to being low on torque As it is a 1.0 engine after all
@@caseymachoga8908 no they not low torque they have a flat torque output of 175 nm from 2000 to 3500 thats more than most naturally aspirated 1.6 liter cars , the vibrations are due to the inherent imbalance that come with 3 cylinders
These 1L engines are a scam, even when driving in the city it will be averaging 6.2L as opposed to the claimed 5.4L Eintlik the 3 cylinders are a scam, I'm getting a young 4 cylinders car as soon as possible
Well yeah. Driving on mountains is not a normal driving condition for the majority of people which this car is aimed towards. However even on steep hills it has no problems due to the turbo injector.
I've also noticed. I drive a t cross 1.0 r line . It's good local. But long distance fuel drops like a rock. You can get good long distance range if you drive at 110km/h or less. For a 1.0 L it has good power though it will be fun to exercise it
Until the car reaches 1000km the engine run in procedure is complete. When you were driving the oil pump etc and other parameters of the engine is still in the engine run in phase. Soo increase fuel consumption to help engine get up to temp and the extra drag of oil pump full pressure
Depends how you drive really and type of terrain you driving in, plus I see you driving between white river and hazyview, my 1.0 liter manual averages 4.8l/100km, the lowest I've gone is *2.8l/100km* with an average speed of 100km/hr driving from the M1 to N1 then to william nicol drive
Decent consumption. For comparison a current gen BMW X3 20d got me 5.8L with 80% highway driving. Diesel cars are still king when it comes to fuel consumption
Why was the avarage speed with the GTi lower? Was there a bit more traffic? If thats the case it means the GTi could have returned a much better economy than the 1litre.
Last month i averaged “4.1L” on my 2022 POLO life DSG But in average im always around 6.0L to 7.5L when driving 30 minutes, I live in Johannesburg south and work in CBD.
I took one of these 1.0-litre TSI polos for a spin around a parking lot, turbo lag for days or was it just me. Indeed, it seems that engine capacity is inversely proportional to fuel consumption on the open road. You have to maintain a larger throttle opening and higher average rpm to maintain your cruising speed
Plus price wise they don’t really differ buh you should consider thinking of the maintenance on the gti before u purchase it as it won’t be as cheap to maintain compared to the r line that’s where car dealerships catch a lot of people on maintenance remember car affordability doesn’t mean just being able to pay installments on it buh being able to maintain it aswell should things go wrong with your car mechanically etc insurance ,fuel
It would be interesting to do that test down at sea level i.e Durban. Perhaps the low altitude pressure and denser air will help. Otherwise I don’t know how you can comfortably reach that 5.4l/100km 🤷🏾♂️ even with a thoroughly run in motor…
Lol. I don't think he owns every car he reviews. He probably goes to these VW dealership obviously using the numbers that he has on RU-vid to ask them for a car to review as this will also benefit the brand in sales. Also, I think he has one custom number plate that he switches onto these cars for the reviews.
