Volkswagen Gol Engines and Transmissions

A Volkswagen Gol engine in this Mini 3-doors generation is gasoline, paired with a manual transmission and front-wheel drive. The 1.3 MT covers light city running; the 1.8 MT adds extra pull when you load the car. Both powertrain examples keep the drivetrain simple—you shift yourself.
