Its motor is an astonishing thing, pushing out 180bhp from only 1.4-liters. A supercharged twists up to support its low-revs encourage yet then a turbocharger assumes control as motor velocities fabricate.
So what’s it like to drive? Splitting. It’s dexterous and speedy off the imprint, feeling just as fast as its increasing speed figures propose. It’s boisterous once that minimal engine gets going however that suits the way of the auto.
It’s a fascinating bit of pack, the engine, made as it is to keep discharges yield low and mileage great. It’ll additionally be fitted to an up and coming variant of Audi’s new little auto, the A1 and can likewise be found in Seat’s Ibiza Bocanegra. In that auto it was baffling – not sufficiently crude and kept down by its absence of a manual gearchange.
In any case, here its simply right, effervescing along at a reasonable break and making the best of the Fabia’s extensive gifts as a responsive driver-inclined auto. What’s more, having the DSG gives the vRS two identities: brisk and feisty when you pick the movement focuses through the oars, however laidback and benevolent at whatever point you’re substance to let the gearbox do the work.
