Think of your car's engine. Is it powerful and fuel-efficient or do you wish it offered a bit more oomph in both areas? If so, you may want to consider purchasing a new Volkswagen with the brand's award-winning turbocharged 1.8-liter engine the next time you're in the market for a car.

Replacing the previous 2.5-liter five-cylinder, this new powerplant now powers the 2015 VW Golf 1.8T, which is in stock at Camelback Volkswagen. Turbocharged and direct-injected, the 1.8-liter delivers a great balance of efficiency and muscle, so drivers can enjoy confident acceleration without worrying about mpg loss.

WardsAuto editors had positive things to say about the engine, which they recently named on their "10 Best Engines" list for 2015, stating:

"[It's] a tremendous engine in an affordable, extremely capable compact car ... More torque at a lower price in a car that routinely topped 33 mpg (7.1 L/100 km) in our testing? Keeping this engine on the list was a no-brainer."

The four-cylinder will take you even further on the highway, where the EPA estimates that it achieves 37 mpg with the manual transmission (an automatic transmission is optional). That's 20 percent greater hwy efficiency than the former five-cylinder produced, and yet the lighter weight and more efficient four-cylinder also offers the same amount of horsepower at 4,5000 rpm as its larger predecessor did.

All of these factors were taken into account when WardsAuto decided to give Volkswagen's 1.8-liter TSI engine a spot on their "10 Best Engines" list. Schedule a test drive at Camelback VW and come try out the award-winning powerplant for yourself!
