My missus bought a new bells and whistle spec one like the one you tested and reviewed TR. Retail price £24.5 k approx. But via Orangewheels discounter £20.25k in DSG format. Cracking little hot hatch, she is a quick driver and has done 19000 miles in 15 months. 2nd service due in a week. Car never missed a beat in that time, no recalls ,no rattles and still on original Bridgestone tyres. I get out for the occasional blast ,on my own , in Sport mode around the Wiltshire country roads and its great fun. Maybe not as checkable as Fiesta ST, but far superior in every other way. Useable space5droption, more comfortable in front and back, fit and finish quality is top notch

@@Tsb22364 I believe so... There's plenty of people in the UK 6C Polo GTI owners groups on Facebook who have gone "Stage 2" & some even "Stage 3" IS20/IS38... On the stock DQ200. Who post their dragy runs... (0-60's, 100-200 times etc...) But, as you've mentioned, they are apparently known to be weak... hence why most people go for the manuals and upgrade the clutch when wanting to push more power. There's a few things you can consider though I believe, a DQ250 swap from a MK7 GTI or R probably would be the most reliable thing to do but I imagine it wouldn't be cheap... But I think you can also upgrade the clutch plates in the stock DQ200 to Kevlar plates and also a TCU/gearbox remap to increase the clamping pressure etc which would also be helpful in trying to reduce clutch slip. I think more than anything, using a reputable/well established tuner (Ecotune for example) would be the safest bet with a DSG, as well as any car (DSG or manual) They are able to alter the maps properly and adjust how aggressively the torque is introduced (since that is what kills the gearbox and clutches in general) to give the DQ200's a chance. But I thought exactly the same though mate, which is why I went for a manual at the time. But as I mentioned above, there's more than enough people in the Facebook groups who have gone Stage 2 and a few Stage 3... So I can only think if you do it "properly" and use the right tuner's & take precautions etc it can't be as bad as I heard otherwise people would be doing it in the DSG's. Best bet would be to join one of the groups to be honest and ask people with DSG's who have gone Stage 2/Stage 3 and see what they've done etc.

This was a video I was dying to see and now that you have reviewed it, it has given me a proper insight to the car which I do not get with many youtubers who have done the same. The polo gti is a nice car, fantastic car in fact, but it if wasn't for the golf R, I would probably look at the older ones on the user market. I know the polo serves a different purpose, but as a driver and a car enthusiast, I would much rather have the bigger meatier 300 bhp car! Also if you can bro, try get your hands on a Renault Clio rs220, I heard they are pretty nippy cars. I would love to see your verdict on the car as it is a car I am considering. If you would review it, it would save me time from having to test drive one as I strongly belive in what you say in your videos and your overall verdict on cars are pretty much bang on.
