Wow! It's like the GTIs little brother or something :laugh: . Yeah, I think it's the "poor mans" Golf GTI.

It is the poor mans GTI or in other words the little brother of the Golf GTI. But if I would have to choose between them I would go for his bigger brother the Golf GTI!

What sort of engine are they putting in that? 1.6 maybe?

I remember the older version, that used to shift quite well. Didn't they do a Lupo GTi aswell?

1.8 litre

0 - 62 in 8.2 seconds, top speed at 134.

not sure if its 5 or 6 gears. doing a DSG might get it down to 7.9s.

sure, a polo might not be as great as a golf but its considerably cheaper. big deal 1 sec diff on the 0 - 62

The Polo GTI has a turbo engine of 1.8 liter or 1791 cc which puts out 150 HP @ 5800 rpm and a torque of 220 Nm (163 lbs-ft). It has only a 5 speed manual gear box and has in Belgium a curbweight of 1164 kg (2564 lbs) while the base Golf GTI weighs 1328 kg (2925 lbs), which is a difference of 164 kg (360 lbs)

In fact in Europe Polo is the New Golf´s Succesor.

You serious..LOL as has been said, the Polo and Golf are two totally different ranges here in Europe...Id say the Polo is for the females and cant think why anyone considering a GTI would look at the Polo unless its down to the botton line cost as ye would pay that bit extra for the original surely.

sometimes i find it difficult to tell the difference between a polo and a golf when im not right in front of it.

to me the polo is just a small golf these days. the mk5 golf (2004) was based on the looks of the mk6 polo (2001). they look pretty similar.
