hehe but there is no warranty that would cover things that happen after 10years and 300.000km. and this is why i'm asking stuff here. i must say i'm not worried about time between 2 and 8 year. i've had petrol fabia 1.4 16V and it made 330.000km in 12 years without a problem and then stuff started falling apart.
some dealers already report some 200.000km 1.0 tsi engines running as on the first day, so i guess it's a better pick than the kangaroo one.
i'm from slovenia, btw, which has very peculiar way of automotive taxing - basic insurance is tied to classes, determined by horse power and road tax to engine size. because classes were made before turbochargers were the thing, 1.0 engine seemed something so stupidly small, that the road tax is 60€ yearly
david white, i have rapid with about same power to weight ratio as octavia 1.0 - it struggles a little bit when loaded. but... you just go a bit slower. it's not like the roads are not congested. my concern about having 1.0 tsi in octavia is, that if engine mechanics are stretched too far, because it's the strongest of the 1.0 lot, there shall be problems.
