Which version to choose

All listed versions are FWD. Choice is therefore engine, gearbox and body period.

If the goal is the shortest 0–100 and highest top speed in this catalogue, the 4th-generation Hatchback 5-door `1.5 TSI Evo DSG` is 150 hp, 250 Nm, 1498 cm³ Gasoline, Inline 4, Turbo, Robotic 7, 7.9 s and 225 km/h, mixed 5.6 L/100 km, 128 g/km CO2. That is 40 hp and 50 Nm above the next listed 4th-generation peak (`1.0 TSI DSG` 115 hp / 200 Nm) and 2.4 s quicker than that row’s 9.3 s.

If the goal is a 1.0-litre turbo with a manual in the current Hatchback 5-door set, `1.0 TSI Evo MT` 110 hp is 200 Nm, Manual 6, 9.7 s, 205 km/h, mixed 5.0 L/100 km, 114 g/km. Versus `1.0 TSI Evo MT` 95 hp (175 Nm, Manual 5, 10.6 s, 195 km/h, mixed 5.1, 113 g/km) it adds 15 hp and 25 Nm, cuts 0.9 s to 100 km/h and adds 10 km/h on top speed, with mixed consumption 0.1 L/100 km lower and CO2 1 g/km higher.

If the goal is the lowest listed mixed Diesel use, 3rd-generation Estate 5-door `1.4 MT` 75 hp and `1.4 MT` 90 hp both show 3.4 L/100 km mixed and 89 g/km CO2. The 90 hp row is 15 hp and 20 Nm stronger (230 vs 210 Nm) and 2.0 s quicker (11.3 vs 13.3 s), with the same 184 vs 175 km/h top speed gap of 9 km/h; kerb is the same 1180 kg on both.

If the goal is a small Gasoline manual with no turbo, 3rd-generation restyle `1.0 MT` 60 hp is 95 Nm, 16.4 s, 158 km/h, mixed 4.7, 1081 kg kerb; `1.0 MT` 75 hp (kerb 1086 kg) is 14.9 s and 168 km/h at mixed 4.8. The 75 hp row is 15 hp stronger, 1.5 s quicker and 10 km/h faster, at +0.1 L/100 km mixed and +2 kg kerb versus 1086 vs 1081.

If the goal is automatic without a robot, listed Automatic boxes are 4-speed on 1st-generation `1.4 AT` 75 hp (17.3 s, 166 km/h) and 6-speed on 2nd-generation `1.6 AT` 105 hp (11.8 s pre-restyle / 11.6 s restyle, 186 km/h) and `1.4 AT` 80 hp Diesel (13.7 s, 173 km/h). The `1.6 AT` restyle row is the highest CO2 in the listed set at 180 g/km and mixed 7.5 L/100 km.

If the goal is the lightest listed car, 1st-generation `1.0 MT` 50 hp is 1010 kg kerb, 21.6 s, 147 km/h, mixed 6.8 L/100 km — 40 hp and 14.3 s slower to 100 km/h than the 4th-generation 150 hp row, and 78 km/h slower at the top.

Specs notes, problems, reliability

Problems, reliability, oil capacity, coolant, service intervals, trunk volume in litres, and prices are not measured in this dataset. Eco class is Euro 6 on listed 3rd- and 4th-generation rows, Euro 5 or Euro 4 on some 2nd-generation restyle rows, and not measured on most 1st-generation and many 2nd-generation original rows. Fuel labels in the data are 95 (Gasoline) or Diesel.
