So well taking my wifes Tucson in for it's service, I decided to browse, and came away with a new 1.0 T-GDI...all the bells and whistles .. very impressed.

Initially skeptical about such a tiny engine (coming from a BMW 120i and a 135i weekend car), any doubts quickly evaporated as the engine is plenty enjoyable for daily driving and no slouch.

 Looking forward to the next few years of ownership and if our good experience with the brand keeps up I'd probably be looking at an N next time around!

Question Re: "2022 PD 5 Door Hatch, Diesel 1.0 T-GDi, Auto, Grey"
In UK the 1.0 T-GDi is Turbo-Gasoline Direct injection. I have one.
Are they really 1.0L oil burners in Oz, or is Diesel a typo?
(I know the 3pot engine is a bit gruff so suppose could be confused for a diesel)

It was in fact a typo :D

There is incredible novelty for me driving a 998cc 3 cyl turbo...  I'm surprised just how much torque appears when the boost hits ...
