And you can just say that a Polo GTI is just a Polo with a red stripe on the nose... albeit a ticked out Polo.
Sigh... There's some serious badge snobbery happening in this thread. Are we all aware that a VW is pretty much on the exact same level playing field as Ford and the like over in Europe in regards to status and reputation?
Pumpe-Düse seems to be the only person here who can appreciate other cars as well our own VWs.
As a rev head car fan of all makes and types, I'd like to think I can keep the blinkers off and appreciate all cars despite their badge or the type of engine or whatever if it is a good car.
I also recall Fifth Gear gave the Fiesta their best small car a few years back and I seem to recall that when Tiff or whoever drove it around their test track it was pretty damn close to the likes of a Porsche Boxster or something.
Yes we all love our VWs a bit more and are always going to be a bit biased but let's not be so biased that we make ourselves into a bit of a laughing stock hey?
Cheers,

Don't get me wrong, I'm not biased, I'll drive pretty much anything for kicks, be it VW, Audi, Ford, Holden, Mitsubishi or some sort of tractor... like a Porsche
I can appreciate pretty much anything that will get up and go!

And if everyone in the small car market bought Polos it would be a very dull world.
Cars of all sorts for the masses!!

1. see my next post where i explained that i used the GTi 180 as a relatively new car comparison. i could have said an R32 skyline GTR but didn't. next time read more before questioning my posts!
2. I test drove the car, thats enough knowledge for me. People can write whatever on paper with figures etc. but people have different driving styles and for me the XR4 was a real let down. not everyone is a race car driver and gets those times on a track. it felt as though i was gonna break it taking a quick corner. also, as said before, the turbo'd Polo's tuneability caught my attention straight away.
