The 2017 Octavia is described as a 1.0 TSI. But what is that equal to 'in old money'. I just don't get the newer classification. Can you help me to understand?

I find my Opel Astra 1.4 (2011) sluggish after dropping from 4th to 3rd in traffic and then trying to go back up again to 4th. The car has 100hp. Would or could I get an upgrade in power?

Hey guys, looking to upgrade from a 2008 Honda Civic Type S for something a little more comfortable for long journeys but still quite fun and cool. Any advice?
I abhor diesel engines and any help is appreciated!

Is torque more important than power when it comes to overtaking? My 1.4 Astra petrol has 100hp, but is not good for overtaking. What should I look for to get more oomph when needing to overtake?

Hi guys,
Looking closely at a 2010 Volkswagen Passat, powered by the 1.6 diesel engine. It's the Highline model with great spec. My only concern is with the 1.6 engine: is it big enough for this car? Will I be dropping the gears to overtake etc?
Thanks
Mick
