New VW Polo GTI Review | The Ultimate Hot Hatch ?

[@PlanetautoUK]

What do you think of the VW Polo GTI? Can you see yourself in one? Annabelle

[@theusefulchannel]

Probably the best Polo GTI review on youtube :)

[@PlanetautoUK]

That’s high praise indeed, ID Vision coming soon 😀 thank you The Useful

[@borigodofo]

Had mine for six months, in Australia - still loving it. The tech it comes with is amazing.

[@PlanetautoUK]

Totally agree with you, Christian. Expected to be pleasantly surprised but ended up totally blown away. What part of Australia are you in? *A

[@joshski85]

Hey, mate. I'm buying one too. How long if at all was your wait time? Cheers

[@borigodofo]

@@joshski85 I ended up getting a Dealer's demo one, as soon as the first ones arrived in Australia in May last year. I did have an order though placed in April 2022, and I know those orders were arriving around September/October.

[@georgedaville4662]

Thank God that VW Group still has a sensible department where they make Polo GTI’s that run on petrol! Fabulous car, your grin says it all Ben. Kerb grinder alloys though 🥴 Great review, yes I want one too 😎

[@PlanetautoUK]

T Roc R follows, hard decision between those 2, silly quick - thank you George

[@alexhiggins7307]

Stage 1 remap, a less restricted exhaust system and better tyres and it would probably give a Scirocco R a good going over!

[@PlanetautoUK]

It’s definitely got the potential Alex, thank you

[@mattsbeamer]

Great review Ben. As soon as I saw this pop up, I knew you’d say it’s the successor to your car. I really do miss the polo hatchbacks, where I am, they only have the saloon. I love the interior, though, I feel the inserts are quite French, if that makes sense. Is like them to be white on this car to match the exterior. Love the twin pipes too. Shame it’s not a manual

[@PlanetautoUK]

Thank you Matt, it’s amazing how many people also see this as the successor, plus you can tune them to over 300bhp and be manageable.

[@mattsbeamer]

@@PlanetautoUK very impressive! I think your channel needs one :)

[@PlanetautoUK]

Hmm 🤔

[@adamlucas6090]

Hi Ben and Annabelle, thanks for a very good review. Very well put together like the Polo itself. You’ve reviewed 2 of my favorite cars ; Polo GTI and the Unique Mini Cooper S. I’m in the process of ordering a new car and I’m struggling to decide between the Polo and the Mini ! What to do ? Do you have a favorite ? Regards, Adam.

[@PlanetautoUK]

Oo, talk about a difficult choice, Adam! Gonna have to think about that, and get back to you. Really glad you liked the review. *A

[@davidmarshall5596]

LOVE IT 💘 answer to your question..'oh yeah 😎' 18' alloys..lovely colour shows off the car..like the interior..betterment with a dsg than manual...Has Ben stopped smiling 😃??? I'll ask the question..Can you see yourself in one of these???? 🤔 I think this would be a great addition to the Annabelle & Ben Channel or to be totally correct 'Planet Auto' 😀 excellent review & Bens enthusiasm shines through 👌💯

[@PlanetautoUK]

Thank you David, yes - in a word, that veedub DNA in a petrol is something I’ve loved since day one.

[@mayhemslim1217]

Going to get mine in two weeks and am so happy to watch your review 😊😊😊

[@PlanetautoUK]

Thank you Mayhem, awesome dub - enjoy and keep us posted

[@mayhemslim1217]

[@PlanetautoUK]

Amazing, big Dutch Veedub scene, we get out Mk2 Golf GTI back soon too - thank you Mayhem - enjoy

[@michaelschwager5821]

Awesome review, awesome car! I can't sit still anymore, will get mine in about 2 weeks time! :) Are those the winter wheels, because I don't think you can get those 18 inch rims on the car in winter?

[@PlanetautoUK]

Thanks, Michael - glad you liked it! We will check with VW about the wheels and get back to you. *A

[@jamiep61]

I enjoyed watching the Video. A very nice looking Small Hot Hatch

[@PlanetautoUK]

Thanks Jamie - glad you have enjoyed it. *A

[@youtubejunkie8053]

Wish we got this in the states!! I love my GTI but these are great

[@PlanetautoUK]

Yes, it’d likely fly there, thank you YTJ

[@dariusparker894]

Always loved vw and I really went one I’m working hard to get it

[@PlanetautoUK]

It's awesome, keep us posted on your thoughts when you've one in your drive?

[@dariusparker894]

@@PlanetautoUK I’ve always dreamed of a polo honestly have but there so expensive when I’m working so hard I need about £18000 to get one and I will thinking about getting a 2015 polo then working way up but then 2018 ones are lush but you know the 1.0s do they lack power or are they generally very good

[@Danny-gb2kj]

Love mine and after racing a fiesta, the GTI makes the fiesta look slow

[@PlanetautoUK]

They’re rapid, we enjoyed our back road antics, thank you Danny

[@ksazubbie]

Really struggling to decide between this and the Audi A1 40tfsi. With the spec i want on both there is about 60k-70k ZAR difference. Anyone test drove both?

[@PlanetautoUK]

Sorry Willie, we’ve never driven the Audi A1 40tfsi, however as they are built on the same platform, and share the same power trains, we will leave the decision up to you. We do love the Polo GTI though 😍 *A

[@mrcurlyrambo5009]

Great review, identical to mine Love driving it Fantastic car ❤❤

[@PlanetautoUK]

Thank you Mr Curly, enjoy yours

[@154stephen]

You can spec a grey accent instead of the red inside.

[@PlanetautoUK]

Ah cool, thank you for the heads up Stephen
