forgot to state that, its a petrol mate

engine size?

engine size?

1.2 3 cylinder petrol, 2008

probably about right lugging all the weight of a mk5 around on three cylinders with a 1.2 capacity.

poor polo.

Did they do a three cylinder mk5? Sure you haven't got four and something's a bit wrong?

its a mk7 not 5 mate, and it is a heavy car for the type of engine it has,

Sounds about right to me considering the tiny engine and the bulk it has to move.

For motorway miles a slightly bigger engine would be more ecofriendly.
