Good for you!. the 1.4liter for here is a version of the new low cc, high outut engine where duel efficiency is maximized. for eg., the new 1.2 liter in the Polo is faster and more fuel efficient than the 1.6liter it has replaced, there's definitely more torque. I'm sure these engines will start appearing stateside soon enough, with more bhp, of course and that's why the US of A rules!
