There's a chronic piston-cracking issue under load at low revs, but owners who are aware of it say they avoid aggressive loading and don't have problems.

I have one in my garage, you can check it out if you want - the biggest regret of my life. There's no sensor, turbo, or manifold on that car we haven't replaced, but I still couldn't get it running right. Now whenever I see that Opel badge, I run.

King, I saw a 1.2 TSI in your garage - were you happy with it? I'm looking at the 1.6 TDI but they're asking way too much money. How's the 1.2 TSI in terms of driving?

Bro, my Polo had a Stage 1 tune, I was really happy with it. I don't know how you feel about modifying, but whatever you put on that car looked good.
