I ponder whether something is wrong with it myself. I always thought the wife just had a lead foot, but I can't see any reason why a 2l NA should use more than a 2l turbo that has to be heavier.

That said the GTI does have direct injection and a 6speed box, and its torquey so maybe the Zetec just needs more of a boot to boogie.
