We had the 1.0 TSi (115PS version) in a Seat Ibiza. The poor car didn’t last long, being written off after a few months, but it was more than capable on it’s only long journey, which was the best part of 300 miles back from Liverpool where it was bought. I think the 1.5 probably has 150PS; at least it does in the A3 that my father has. He’s never complained about it, or my Mums A1 which has the 95PS version of the 1.0 engine. But I don’t know what the torque figures for the various engines are…but I imagine if you use the gearbox properly, and rev the engine it’d be fine. With the bonus that a 3 cylinder engine sounds pretty good when revved :) The one thing my Mum comments on is that hers only has a 5 speed ‘box, compared to the A3s 6 speed one. Not sure about the 115 PS version of the 1.0 as ours was automatic…7 speed DSG.
