Pre-facelift with the EA888 2.0 was the peak Polo GTI. It was still affordable and still had the same grunt as the new one, with a better sound, and buttons in the interior.

The 1.8t Ea888.3 has the dq200 box lots of problems. Developed by Luk it is a dry box vs the classic Dq250 six speed can take 600 nm in golf trim. The choice is clear prefacelift 2.0 gti.

A fully speced polo gti like this has a price of about 580k new from a vw dealership other dealerships are trying their luck pushing the prices up by up to 100 over msrp. That being said, lots of peoples are steered away from the 1.8 polo gti because if you look at the dry clutch gearbox too hard, it’ll break.

I agree it’s overpriced, but I think you guys are being a bit disingenuous. It’s as if you want to dislike it, because of the price. I’ve personally sat in both generations and the new one is much more refined - from a suspension and NVH perspective. It’s also got much better technology. It’s a clear upgrade. However, for that money (R600k), if you’re willing to try the second hand market you can find a better low mileage performance car (Golf 7.5, Megane RS, etc.) that’s still under warranty - which is the most important thing. I also think the pre-facelift is worth a look at, for lower money - they’re indistinguishable from a power and platform perspective.
@libeRebil2 жыл бұрын
Far from disingenuous, I feel it’s a good car as I’ve said it has huge potential. But over 600K it is a tough pill to swallow.

I think if you really want 1.. order from VW and be patient.. no need to pay so much more to get it immediately.. also.. in that price bracket, nothing out there in a brand new hot hatch that can beat it.. if you going pre owned though.. MK7.5 GTI FTW.. Golf just does it all better.. I had the pre-face-lift 2.0T.. it was an amazing car.. I also had the twin charged 1.4.. they very different cars.. unfortunately cars are becoming really expensive.. and its across all brands.. you need to really think carefully about what you buying when spending that kind of money.. I'm noticing many of us can't keep up anymore.. once a new model is out, it's beyond reach
