Loan Car

[markymark]

Yeah, there are quite a few of these new Polo GTIs at the Brands Hatch meet, some of them look really smart. When it was dark I actually confused one with a MK5 Golf GTI 

I know what you mean at a quick glance I have made that same mistake, I must admit I considered one before buying the Golf, I decided against it as I wasnt overly impressed with the 1.8T engine...far to thirsty!

The Polo I had as a loan car a couple of weeks ago had a stubborn cd player. When you pressed skip it took like 5 seconds before it actually stopped playing the current track to skip.

took my gti in today to get the rust sorted out.... and they gave me a 2.0t eos with dsg           asked for the scirocco gt but the local paper had it for a day to review and writ it off

....

But I don't think that the Polo is a proper small car - It's still too big. I don't like them because they are neither one thing nor the other - Neither Lupo (truly small) nor Golf (small medium) sized.

The size statement is true Robin, if you parked the my MK2 next to the GF's Polo you see how big modern small cars have become over the years.

But with the only other (new) small VW choice being the Fox then I know which Id choose (or bring back the Lupo GTI  )

I think nearly all "small" cars have got larger as the years progress.  Look at the latest Fiestas, Corsas, Clios and the likes, and compare them to their 1970/80s namesakes.

As if...all my local dealers persist to give us 1.2 Polo's or 1.6 Golf Plus'

Looks like a nice motor, always favoured them over the rivals..Peugeot, Renault etc.

If I'd hit him I would most likely survive in a Golf.  Not sure about a Lupo.

....But that's the kind of thinking that mums justify for their huge SUV's.

Yes, but the "SUV" arguments are flawed.  Yes, they may be bigger, and have more "metal" around you, but they generally weigh much more - thus taking much longer to stop, and because they are top heavy (a higher centre of gravity), they have a serious tendency to roll over, and crush the occupants. 

The only time "bigger is better" in crashes is in "normal" cars - so a Lupo against an Audi A8 won't stand a chance.

2. I prefer the black interior to grey of the Gti

Is it black on the polo? Thought the golf had black interia too? (at least.. mine does)

[BodyThief]

The Polo is dark grey metallic.

The Golf Gti interior is only black if you wear sunglasses
