so..... with a Turbo..... AND.... a supercharger.... The brillian german engineers managed to pull a whopping 20hp more than the non added version....

is this a joke?

That's the only good thing about that car. Looks like crap, has no power (I don't car about the 120 HP per liter, it still has no power lol), and is a VW. I figure it would be a good daily driver for a family person, but there is no way in hell I would buy one.

VW didnt design it for performance, it was designed to get descent power for a compact car and great mileage. Imo a 1.4L motor getting 170hp and 40mpg is impressive no matter what kind of blower is used.
