I have a love-hate relationship with this engine. I currently drive the 2010 Golf Plus, but it's 1.6 engine is built like a tank and doesn't really have many points where it could break. No turbo charger and no fancy electrics that could break. It's been around since the mid 90's with minor changes to keep up with emission stuff. If you keep the oil intervals, this engine will run atleast 200k km's. But: It's very tired in the low RPM's as is typical with engines w/o turbos, you have to keep the revs high to keep up with fast moving traffic. And the second thing that annoys me is that it lacks a 6th gear, which doesn't help with fuel economy(!) and results in a very loud & stressed sounding 4 cylinder when doing upwards 130km/h...
I have a 2006 Golf (non plus) with this exact engine. It's great and it handles well thanks to fully independent suspension. You also can keep up with modern traffic, if you keep the revs high. The only problem is the lack of a sixth gear...it screams at highway speeds, 3000 rpm at 100 km/h in fifth gear. If you do 130-140 it's starting to get loud, it can be exhausting for long trips.
@@Blackmamba12345 I agree, turbo technology is the future of cars but the 1.6 still is a pretty great first car because you learn to use all of the 102 horsepower it has, all of the time. When you upgrade to a faster car it will be a lot easier to drive
@@XantoS771 I have a 1.6 Sr Golf mk4 and a Golf 1.4tsi mk6. The TSI only has around 22 additional hp but it is much much faster, better cruising plus very economical. I have been cruising at 80mph and getting around 50mpg. It is almost as good as a diesel. The 1.6 however non turbo is much slower and mpg is very poor. The same speed you'd be lucky to get 30mpg.

I own one: Since it doesn't have a turbo not much can go wrong with it. BUT like smaller Toyota VVT's they're sensitive to the oil quality. Older engines may have slight drinking problems.

Now that there have been big corrections in the crypto market, NFT has been growing in all aspects, I strongly believe that the digital crypto asset NFTs will take over the market in no time
Had been a huge blast since I met a prof. assigned by NFTS company that provides a legitimate rate which enable you buy NFTs in cheap rate and sell at profitable rate in binance
@@brownx5694 Yes! no doubt she's a life changer, I made huge profits after I sold my NFTs purchased at good rate through her link last week, the rate is affordable

This is the car I'm currently learning to drive on. Great car.

Better off with the TSI engines, better performance and economy.

@@Blackmamba12345 Wow, that's a huge difference...can't wait to get myself a turbo car haha
@@Blackmamba12345 But 1.6 mpi does not break down as often as TSI, this is a big plus)

Ale kosmiczne spalanie wyszło...
mam starą Megankę kombi 2007 1.4 98KM i pali tak średnio 8 litrów a tutaj 11,6...
Смешной пузырь :) Хотел когда то такой, но купил Peugeot 308.
А я смотрю, у вас там еще тепло.
Very comfortable interior

10:43 first gear grind
This is actually a pretty normal way how to move off from a first gear in a petrol car.
Can you do a pov of one of the newer volvo v60
🚀😘🚀🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥😍🍸👏👏👏👏
how would you rate this car from 1-10 in case of reliability?

Never understood the Golf Plus. It's like a mini VW Touran or something ?
Between Touran and Golf:)
Can you test fiat albea 1.3 multijet 2006-2008 man ✌️

Whats the city consumption?
4000 revs at 130 km/h in 5th gear....not too good..😰
Volkswagen auto dla ludu taka europejska toyota
VW is better and has more premial things than Toyota
This engine does not make that tractor sound like diesel its very quiet
🙂👍🇹🇷

Layla Claire is obviously the best in the market, I bought a $5,000 worth of NFT and sold it in binance with a massive profit of $2,700 after 3 weeks
