Volkswagen has knocked BMW off its perch by winning the International Engine of the Year overall honour with its twincharged 1.4 litre four cylinder engine.

Not content with the overall title, the 1.4 TSI also won the Best Green Engine 2009 and Best Engine in the 1.0-litre to 1.4-litre category...

In NSW I believe there are restrictions on what cars learners and P platers can drive. So if your family car is 118TSI or 90TSI, and you are on your P's you may have to rent another car to get your log books filled! Classic case of some regulations being not carefully thoughtout.

Cheers,

VW have already stated that both those cars are OK for P plate use.

RTA's website indicate that the petrol Golfs "may be eligible for exemption" from the P1 and P2 driver prohibited vehicles conditions. It's still a pain though, one still has to apply for exemption.:frown::duh:
