Yes it is exactly the same engine but this are two completely different cars. Golf is much more sporty and agile. Skoda is also fast but comfortable at the same time, has a softer suspension and is more suitable for everyday driving. Golf is more like a funcar

The facelifted Performance version, now with +20 Nm and +15 PS.
It's interesting that it has a 7 speed DSG, while the regular GTI has a 6 speed DSG.
