Goes in all fields

Don't be a kid basically. In my opinion the turbo vws were made for commuting and going to the grocery store until every millenials figured it came with a turbo stock so they slap exhaust on them, boost controllers and tinker with a system that was not designed to be raced in the first place
They are very reliable and very fun to drive if you don't fuck around.
I don't even like VW.
Drove a gli with the 2.0T that was stage 2 and I was never so scared of pressing the pedal. They really can hd the streets pretty good.

Why so you dislike the turbo sport models? VW and Audi sure has a habit of throwing turbos on regular cars like the A4 but cars like the GTI and the 337/20th editions I've seen beat to hell religiously for 150k+ with no serious issues.

As long as you're not banging gears it can take a beating. The biggest issues I've seen is boy racers damaging synchros but that happens to so many cars it's not fair to blame VW.

you got a gti right?

pretty much the only thing i can approve

Don't wonder if people decide not to take you seriously.

Europeasant here.
The 1.8T engine is ~20ish years old now, it's an old, tried and tested engine. Most of these engines go past the 300.000km mark, if properly taken care of.
The weak point is/was the turbo itself, which had to either work all the time, or not work at all. And that meant that the engine had to be revved constantly. On the other hand, the turbo would shatter earlier than normal . otherwise, the engine is bulletproof. It still lives today as the 1.8TFSI.
One more thing : this engine was designed for 300 bhp on stock internals, but 275 bhp is the sweet spot. Now imagine a 275 bhp VW Polo.
VW never really bothered with the petrol engines, they just use ancient engines. The 1.2 tsi, which was their first all new petrol engine in 20 years, was a complete disaster at first. The 1.4tsi seems to be allright tho. The 2.0tsi is atleast 15 years old.
Simple engines, chain driven, nothing breaks down on them

Now that i'm on my laptop I can write properly.
My first car was a VW Polo with the 1.2 chain-driven 12v engine, which was basically the 1.6 chain-driven 16v engine with a cylinder chopped off ( VW does alot of this stuff - adding/removing cylinders ). The thing with this engine ( both variants ) is that they are designed for 500k km, but when something breaks, the engine cannot be repaired.
