As long as they sort the chassis and ride as Topgear stig hothatch test and EVO did not seem impressed with the Polo GTI chassis.
Also hope the 1.6 is more hardy than the 1.4 seems to be....

Very very true, quick in a straight line but very slow around corners. I can't trust it through the bends unlike a golf or scirocco or even a passat i am driving this week. Needs stiffening drastically and perhaps centre of gravity seems high.......

So if they keep making quicker Polos what will be the point of a Golf GTI, seems crazy to me.
