Had both , 1.8t golf , also on a side note the gearbox on a polo is made of cheese, 1.8cheap to mod , polo once you done exhaust/cams/filter that's it unless ur fitting a 1.8t ,

The polo will be slightly quicker over short distances/off the lights/corners, the Golf will have a higher top speed and leave it behind on a long straight, DC or motorway.
The 150bhp GTI is a bit of a lardy bum and takes a while to get going, the handling is also a bit wishy washy as standard.

Because a 1.8T without a map is pretty poor, the polo is considerably lighter and I bet on paper the 0-60 times are pretty similar. If I could be bothered I'd work out the power/weight ratio of each car but I really cba :grin:

I can confirm that the polo was slower than my golf, I was going through the gears and he was a good 100m behind! And booting it!

Depends if the polo's gearbox can actually last long enough without breaking to actually get up to speed lol
