you have a valid point there.

under power is subjective and relative. it all depending on where you come from and which other model you comparing with.

Can be considered under-powered if the power-to-weight ratio is not good, or the way the gear shifts (is it called differential?)... a few reasons lah... usually these 2.

Like my Subaru, the first 2 gears are very weak, must hit excess of 3200rpm to achieve optimum acceleration, but last 2 gears onwards, quite good. But there are also plenty of other reasons like the 4WD, the 198NM torque and the super heavy stock body.

Gear ratios, especially the ratio of the stock final drive

Side profile looks like Sirocco....

[MadDog70]

Side doesn't look like, but at an angle.

[Vega]

The back side is nicer than the rocco. Rocco has a ugly a$$.

[Proton_neutron]

Wait for the 1.6T 206bhp that Vauxhall/ Opel will start producing at year's end. It'll replace the 1.6T 180bhp engine.

[MadDog70]

Let's see the a$$.

Actually, the contour looks similar here.
