Is the Volkswagen Polo 1.0 engine up to it?

The question
Hi.
Is the 1.0 MPI 75hp engine sufficient in the new Volkswagen Polo? I currently have a 1.2 65hp 2003 Polo and find it ok, but I'm worried the new engine would struggle on dual carriageways etc.
Thanks very much

Hi Tim,
You should be absolutely fine. That new 1.0-litre engine is a cracker and, with 75hp, we’ve found that it’s more than sufficient even for long motorway journeys.
