Alex Goy reviews the VW Polo GTI. With the Golf GTI above it and the Up GTI below it, is the Polo GTI the perfect middle ground or neither one or the other?

I’ve had the new polo GTI for 6 months and was one of the first in UK to get the car. 49 mpg is bollocks. Only on a long motor way journey if you drive like a boring 80 year old. Put it in sport and it’s great. Comfortable and smooth with a good sound and the space of a golf. Interior is nice but you don’t get all the extras like a seat. It’s quick though if I compare to my previous golf GTI and Mini Cooper s so performance wise it’s good.....worth the money I’m not sure.....but I like mine

i've had mine for over a year now and still love it to bits, maybe its for the 45 year old teenager rather than a actual teenager. but there is nothing wrong with that surely plus everyday driving is amazing. ive had a few goes in the ST fiesta and yes is fun to drive ad if i was actually 18 maybe id go for that , but do i want a headache every time i go out in my car and feel like i'm constantly buzzing?? no i don't now. I do like both the fiesta and the polo but for me its VW thats ended up with my cash

Since we don't get Polos here in the US, what generation golf does this car come closest to size wise? Even though the power is MKV level, is the weight similar too? Unlike most cars, there doesn't seem to be much size gain between golf mk 5-6-7 as there was between mk 1-2-3, leaving room for what I'd guess is mk 4ish size polo.

@MyRealName
@MyRealName 5 жыл бұрын
@@David09420 My point exactly. You need character now and then. The rest of the time you need a car that makes your life easier. This is why VW's hot hatches are so popular, you get all the usual stuff (quality, comfort, materials that make the i30 look like it's half the price, the sound insulation gives the same effect) and you get added poke without having a car that annoys you whenever you're not driving it at 10/10. I would like to have the new i30N because if I bought it now, it would be my second car, I wouldn't daily it. If it's my only car, it has to be something civil, I do more than 30000 km a year.. I get your point, but I hope you see what I'm trying to say as well. I see Golfs everywhere, I see a Hyundai every now and then, and that goes for any hardcore hothatch that didn't depreciate too much. Second hand cars, different stories, and that's exactly for reasons I mentioned, they're usually not your only car, rather a second or third car you bought second hand..

For the people that drive responsibly and have to ferry their families around this car is perfect. It does what you need it to do for 95% of the time. For the times that you want to do something illegal it isn't as sharp and focussed but then again you don't have to live with a rough ride or nasty interior 100% of the time. Remember that there is a lot of kit out there for VWs so you can customise it, which is what an enthusiastic plans to do anyway.

You know the thing is (cause I owned both variants of the previous polo Gti's ) is that when sat next to a golf mk6/mk7 Gti at the traffic lights I always knew I would be bested, always felt like I was somehow inferior to my polos bigger brother........but I have this new polo Gti now......and well let's just say......I don't feel like that anymore.....cause it now sits neck and neck with the mk7 Gti. Yes it's slightly detuned....but it's also lighter, witch compensates for that. It's probably the best polo Gti variant to date.......it has to be, after all it's just a ever so detuned mk7 Gti sitting under a polo body shell. Btw....the mk7 Gti only starts pulling away from this polo at about 220kph.....and thats out on the open roads. Traffic light to traffic light and short highway stints, the mk7 can't pull away from it.

The 2.0 polo gti is not much if at all faster than the previous 1.8tsi due to it having the same is12 turbo and the 1.8tsi being lighter. The 1.8tsi engine is actually a better engine for perfomance as it is a lot more similar to the mk7 gti motor and has a better compression ratio as oppose to the new ea888 gen3B in the new polo gti as that is a miller cycle which has a lower compression ratio compared to the original ea888 gen 3 motors.

The Polo GTI is really heavy (over 1300 kg) it is almost the same weight as the Golf GTI, which may yet shed more weight for the mark 8. Although it seems to be a real bargain, compared with the Golf, once you “spec” it up with goodies that the Golf GTI Performance has as standard, then the difference in price is much less marked. If the Polo could shed 200kg and keep the same power, then it could be very special.

I had this car in red , a GTi +. I tried the fiesta st but preferred the Polo cabin and tech. I got 41mpg and had no problems at all. It is a great size, the keyless system and infotainment work well. I never took it out of sport mode or tried the active suspension just left it in its firmest position. I did 7000 miles including trips to Europe and really liked it. I now have a M140i And while the engine is fun and the gearboxes ability to drop two gears to engage warp mode is compelling the heater is woeful and the brakes worse than the Polos. The Polo cabin is more spacious as well.

I love driving my 2009 1.4 polo even though it only have like 85hp because it is so fun to rev, shift and play around with. This has become a fat, farting golf. If I were to buy a car for full price I would buy a 2009 polo before a 2019 polo even if they costed the same.

VW, please bring this car to the US. I really want one, especially now that Ford stopped selling the ST twins due to the misguided fat that Dearborn is convinced that Americans all want 2 ton SUVs.

I think VW are too scared to make any other car exciting and have purposely missed it out of this car, all their other cars like the scirocco, polo and others are lacklustre on purpose as to not steal the shine away from the original GTI which has maintained its small size whilst cars like the focus, civic, megane and astra have grown somewhat just so VW can keep its design close to the original

@@andyfairchild2383 I had a Polo match with 3 doors and now have the 2018 R-Line. It's the same but better in every way apart from the lack of cruise control that I never used anyway and rear drum brakes that don't seem to affect braking at all compared to the match edition. Also the chassis is different to the match and the response in steering when I first got it just put a huge smile on my face.

Conclusion not very exciting, what are you saying it is a Hatch Back with 200HP adaptive suspension, DSG gear box - I have owned one for 3 years and have owned Golf Rs 2010, Renault Meganas RS 270 - these cars were great and as you say exciting for 5 minutes on normal roads and then pain in the ass literally !! The Polo GTI is a great every day and real car for real people who drive on normal roads, NOTHING faster ! but if you want more and need more buy bigger but go to the track! Looking forward to the response from the UK, I have better roads in the south of france )

There are so many guys that just want to say "I am a man and a man must drive a manual" if you have owned a GTI you will know the DSG is always more fun, the manual is just dull. If you want a true manual hot hatch then its the Fiesta ST. If you buy a manual GTI you are just missing out!
