It's not actually marketed as a hot hatch in the same way the GTD or vRS are. It's just the most powerful diesel 1 series but I doubt they've done anything else to it.

shame there's no new bmw 125d or matt might've chosen a different car ;)

[@arjuntyagi324]

Between the Volkswagen & the Volkswagen, I’d choose the Volkswagen.

[@MyRealName]

i'll just assume you'd go for the bigger and cheaper volkswagen

“That’s the most fun anyone’s had in a diesel Skoda” obviously haven’t tried a 300+ hp 500+nm mk1 Fabia vrs 😂

[@Draconior87]

that bmw is an embarassment for the family.

I own mk6 golf 2 0 tdi. Has soft limiter but you can turn it off by holding ESP button till traction controll light starts flashing

[@sherif.ghoneim]

That was actually impressive for the Golf... Well done

[@Factorshub1]

How you putting a 120d against the cars should’ve just used a regular Skoda octavia and a normal vw tdi

[@maurits8814]

Fuck off They have the same weight, horsepower and price… you can’t have it more fair

[@YANT20]

This 120d is incredibly slow !

[@thepiedpiper54]

Why are all you bmw fanboys so sensitive.the new bmw 1 series is shit just except it and move on.
