What are your opinions on them?
Im very tempted to get one, can pick one up for alot less then a decent mk4 Golf, aswell as being cheaper to insure and run.
A 16v would also be nice but its over doubles my insurence :huh:

I think they're class. Drop them on some nice alloys and keep it nice and clean and they're stunning :cool:
-
Very solid, they don't seem to rust, like the previous model.
-
its the only modern polo to have :laugh:
-
sis has one of these with the 1.4 16v engine is quite pokey. the dash is the only thing that lets it down really. look great slammed on nice rims...
-
I like them plus lowered on nice alloys always seems to work really well.
-
I like them, but I do find the interiors a bit grey plasticky and soulless. So, drop it low, nice alloys and a retrim!!! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
-
I like the estate version :)
-
Thay have a reputation for destroying gearboxes, even at low mileages but I think this is only a problem on the 16v and GTI models.

My mum has got the base 1.0L model. Its been completely trouble free for 7 years since she bought it.
-
the 1.4 tdi was pokey enough that the missus had...although she prefers the golf due to the less likely to blow away at 70mph factor :laugh: She just thinks they feel light at speed, but build quality wise, it was spot on...not a beat missed.

:grin: rollerskatetastic :laugh:
-
The missus has a 2001 GTI and it's a cracking little motor :smiley:
Steering is very light though!

agree with this, my sisters has the highline alloys and at motorway speeds it trams and feels a little unstable. still love the way they look though

can't fault the looks at all...proper VW styling unlike the later ones

Good views I see :smiley: Was in the mrs 1.0 version today on the motorway cruising at 70mph without problem and pulling enough to still overtake. :smiley:
Seems only slightly less performance then my mk3 1.4 and being more economical :grin:
-
just had a look at the spec of the 6n2 and they are very heavy for a small car!! only like 30kg lighter than a mk3 :lipsrsealed:
-
67kg less then a mk4.
1.4 polo is just about more bhp per ton then 1.6 mk4 golf :wink:
And people say they handle better :smiley:
