What are the odds?
« on: 23 November 2007, 17:10 »
On the way home from work tonight I drove through the sleepy village of Atworth (Wilts) and coming the other way was a new black Polo GTI (dont see many of those, so gave them a wave), 2 cars later, a black lupo GTI!  See even less of those!

Gave them a wave to :grin:

Bit sad I know but 3 different GTIs, all black, at the same time in a village the size of a postage stamp, whats the odds? :laugh:

Good motors, fast as ****, but pretty rare so you may end up paying top dollar for one.

Gets good reviews from Whatcar owners:

I've had one (in the fastest colour) and can say that they are great little motors. 125bhp in a 1.6 16v engine and only 930kg to lug about. Lovely and revvy and I had the 5 speed version which I liked better than the 6 speed version. They even made the effort to have the front wings made of aluminium to save weight and distribute the weight better. :cool:

Very good motors and look cute, but they aren't that fast... my wife's Lupo GTI feels slower than the Mk2 16v I had... they are about as fast as the Mk2 GTI 8v I'd say.  :undecided:

.... :grin: Great description!

I prefer the Lupo to the Polo - I find that the Lupo is more more of an 'honest' small car and the Polo is neither small nor medium sized. Lupo GTI = More fun.
