Good to read so many people going back to manual in the updated Polo GTI. Apart from being more fun, involving, lighter and less likely to have issues - i thought manual was a dying breed......happy to see that theory thrown out the window.

No way i would be trusting the DSG 7 speed dry clutch given its past history and how many people it has burnt over the past 5 years or so.

Amen Lucas! You may recall back in 2010, I had a deposit down on a 6R Polo GTI but gladly got upsold to a manual MK6 GTI. For only $3k more, why not!?!


I've only progressed with the 6C as they finally offer a manual!

At dealership, ready for pickup on Thursday

We timed 0-100km/h just 6.2 seconds, which is 0.1 of a second quicker than what we achieved in the previous DSG version. You could expect an even quicker time in the DSG here.

So the 1.8 Manual (6.2) is 0.1 quicker than the 1.4 DSG (6.3), interesting.

Flat-out acceleration is quite similar between the two model years. We timed 0-100km/h in 6.7 seconds in the new DSG.

Huh?

The manual Polo GTI bursts out of that mould by proving it can let its hair down and get a bit wild. It is also quicker covering 0-100km/h (6.2 seconds) according to our stopwatch, mainly because it can hit 100km/h in second gear.

Ah, that explains it, maybe they should do a comparison to 101 kph or wherever the manual needs to change to 3rd. That's a much fairer comparison.

If the new Polo is anything like my 2011 Golf R manual, 2nd gear would only take you to around 96kph...the delay to change into 3rd to hit 100kph hurt the 0-100kph times.

i know the car is still relatively new to the market, other than small squeaks and rattles. are there any issues with the current 6c gti?
e.g. oil consumption issues.

Timing wise for those tracking their car.... It was exactly 1 week from the ship getting into port (Wollongong NSW) until arrival at my dealer in Canberra. Not a bad effort by Prixcar to turn it around so quickly.

So what fuel usage are people seeing out there on their GTI?

Mine has done 3,000 kms now and getting consistent 6.9 L/100 each week

EDIT: Avg speed is 57kph
