Engine really so “tired”?

Servus her loved ones, It can be read everywhere that the engines are “tired” and sluggish with Adam. Is that really true? Can’t imagine that they are so bad, as it may seem according to many articles. I am interested in an Adam Glam 1.2l with 70 hp. At the moment I drive a Golf V 1.4l 75 hp. Do I have to reckon with strong performance limitations in the Adam, compared to the golf, (saug engine/turbo engine)? I don’t need a racing car and I’m rather a cozy cruiser, about how However, of course, car should not have to drive around constantly in the first gear, because it does not get up the smallest hills and can sometimes overtake a tractor. Price-wise I am at the limit. Therefore either equipment or just stay with the smaller 1.2l. How big is the power difference between the 1.2l with 70hp and the 1.4l with 87hp? lg KWie
