Officially, our favourite engine – the 1.0 TSI 95 – will manage between 51mpg and 54mpg, depending on which gearbox you go for. In our real-world tests, the five-speed manual version averaged Is a 1.2 engine good for motorway driving? It can be, it depends on the car – and the speed you intend to drive. A VW 1.2 liter TSI engine generates 105 HP which is more than enough also for freeway driving. You can get the same (or very similar) engine also in the smaller VW Polo, in my opinion this engine fits this car better. In short, 1.8tsi with the same DSG does much better than the Polo, in terms of everything including gear changes. 1.2 tsi is rather harsh in comparison. This is only to say there is a world of smoother free revving engines compared to 1.2 tsi so 1.5 tsi might be actually much better to drive. The 1.2 tsi in the 2 Skoda Rapid fleet cars we use for the office staff is fine for the car, sits nicely at 75mph, good fuel economy and plenty of pull. The only concern and its a big one, the engine timing chains on the 1.2 tsi have a habit of snapping and the skoda dealer service manager when pushed told me 'it was one of those things'! Safe choice is to swap the complete Engine + ECU from a Polo 1.2 TSi, retaining the current MT transmission. You should start hunting the engine from total loss car, restore with necessary internals. This is far reliable, less time consuming than turbocharging the current 1.2 NA mill and not to forget the cost will remain same for both the options. The smashing midrange of a turbo engine makes up for the slight delay - IMHO and I find it more useable and faster than a high revving NA engine for most driving conditions. Yet to drive the VW 1.0 TSi petrol, but the lightweight Hyundai cars make good use of their small 1.0 TGDi. In 2017, this engine was replaced by a 1.5 TSI Evo unit with either 130 (128bhp) or 150 (148bhp) outputs. Diesel versions start with an astonishingly economical 1.6-litre engine, good for 70 86hp is perfectly fine for a fabia, doesn't matter if it's the wagon or the hatch. We have the same engine in the Rapid which is even bigger than a fabia. Fuel consumption from newer engines can't even come close to the consumption of the 1.2 tsi. Only thing you should watch out for is the timing chain in 1.2 tsi engines. eJFV.
