A friend of mine wants to buy one of these Polo GTI's...any one had any experience with them?? The dealers here dont "stock" them and there are none around gib so there is no way of finding out..... :sad:
Thanks in advance!
-
i quite like them but the concensus seems to edge more towards the lupo GTI if you can still get them over there :cool:
-
There is ONE registered in Gibraltar but the owner doesnt use or its kept some where....considering they are not available from Factory order either makes it abit harder to get our hands on it....the Polo GTI sounds quite descent i beleive it has the same 1.8T lump from the MK4 GTI but with just abit less hp?? 150hp i think VW have stated
-
They do look quite 'cute' - a mini Golf GTI! They even get the red 'lipstick' around the grill and mini monzas! :cool:
-
they go like stink with a remap!

i can imagine :drool:

TBH honest I sat in one at the stealers the other day and I wasn't a big fan of the interior or the looks in the flesh, he should get a second hand GTI IMO :smiley:
-
I tried selling him mine...told him the price ud pay for a new polo gti, buy my golf and he refused...he said there are none in gib and he really like the polo so...another reason would be the insurance...might be abit more difficult for him :smiley:

I heard they weren't that good, they aint particularly quick either.. infact are they at all? I had a normal polo when mine was in the workshop and I hated it, duno what model it was tho, the interior was yuck
-
150bhp in a rollerskate aint quick? and they remap them to 210. At GTI International 2006 they had some female touring car driver racing one around the tyre test track.. very impressive.
-
7.7 ish seconds 0-60 isn't anything to write home about espesh when its only a small car, but a remap would maybe do it.
I duno what handdling is like tho
-
They did a GTi Cup or something with 180bhp out of the box, I bet that's quite fun. The current Polo GTI is probably the real succesor to the MKI Golf Gti. It's about the same size with a similar power/weight ratio.

I think its quite nice to be honest :smiley: If i couldnt afford the full stretch to a golf gti i would honestly consider one of those. :smiley:
-
One of the guys i work with has a white on on order, its at the dealers but cant pick it up till his birthday in April. I haddnt told him i was getting a 'proper' GTI, you should have seen his face last week when i turned up for work in the GTI :shocked: :grin: :grin: :grin:
Quite interested to see how it compares though.........
-
One of this months VW magazines has a feature on a modded White Polo GTI with over 300bhp :shocked:
-
It really is just a smaller version og the Mk5 gti.
Same styling.
1.8 T 150 BHP ENGINE.
Same cloth on the seats etc.
That white one looks stunning.

Brother as just got one 5dr in black and we had abit of a tango and he kept up with me, He did lose out on the corners but I think that was more confidence with a new car.
Ive got a GT tdi140 with the bluefin remap.

....What, the female or the car impressed you the most? :grin:
I had a friendly ding-dong with this VeeDub for miles and miles on a German autobahn. I was fully loaded with 2 passengers plus luggage, tent, etc and he was just a young driver but it was a pocket-rocket!

Otherwise, if you want a hot small VeeDub I would very much favour a hot Lupo. There were some very nice ones at the Oxford show.
