    New Polo GTI Versus Golf GTI

    Anyone out there considering the new Polo GTI being released here later this year over buying the Golf GTI. The thing is supposed to do 0-100 in 6.9 secs and do it sipping 6.5L/100Ks.

    Doubt we will get the Polo GTI this year.

    The updated shape hasn't even been released here yet and the GTI wil take another 6months or more to come out after the new shape.

    There seems to be a few limitations with the new Polo, but until the details are released wont know for sure...

    DSG only
    3 door only

    These are unconfirmed, Polo should be a few months away, GTI may scrape in this year.

    I thought it was 5 door only in line with the Golf R and the possible Golf GTI.
    DSG only annoys me and would turn me away from purchase if i was in the market for one.

    DSG only suits me down to the ground because the wife can't drive manual. But 3DR only puts a damper on things.

    Soon it may be the only 3dr sports VW on the market ...... with the Golf GTI and R rumoured to be 5drs only going forward.......

    Too many issues with both the 1.4TSI and the DSG for me to be interested at all .... I'd have preferred a 6sp manual and the 1.8TSI engine from the A3 to be honest as a niche product in the VW range ....

    Pick of the range for me will actually be the 1.6TDI (77kw/250NM) with 6spd manual. Oettinger chip and you've got 110kw and 320NM .... make for a nice nippy small hatch ....

    Yeah, I'm happy with my little 1.8T in the Polo. Its not frugal, but there are plenty of big power options if you can work out how to get the power down.
