Why no 1.2 TSI with DSG?

Post by PumpkinPie »

They get the DSG option with the 1.2 TSI in Europe, seems stupid that they don't offer it here. If I bought another Polo, that would be the spec I'd want to buy. Why, VW???

Maybe VW don't think it will sell? If I was going to go for a Polo again,then it would b a 1.2 TSI DSG. Maybe you could import one instead?

Does sound odd they do a 86hp one that would be a nice replacement for the 1.4 an that would suit a dsg or even the 105

Then again the 105 1.6tdi would also be nice as well

I don't think they even offer dsg on the diesels either

Shame they don't offer the 2.0 143 tdi :D

VW have never had a diesel Polo DSG in this country, although I think they do abroad. Again, maybe there isn't demand for it. Also, auto diesels on superminis don't always perform that great, maybe that's why VW don't bring one out for the Polo over here.
