I agree with the review. This is not a fast car. I have driven a 1.6 TDi Skoda Octavia 2012, basically the same engine in a slightly lighter hatchback car. It was slow also. I'd imagine in a heavier estate car it would be worse. It is an economical engine though, so it has that going for it.

It's a diesel. Even with the turbo, it will have the torque but not the swift acceleration of a bigger displacement engine. If it were the 2.0 TDI, it would be much improved for performance.
