    Does the Polo Gti exhaust 'fart'?

    Love the 'blip'/'fart' in the Golf but I've never actually driven the Polo Gti.

    The Polo GTi does downshift with a blip, but fart? i dont think so. As they got the tuning right with the Polo GTI, they stuffed it in the Golf's

    Yes i believe they do. There is a guy who lives near me (i see the car quite regularily) with a current shape Polo GTi and i hear it "fart" when it goes up through the gears. I dont think the noise is quite as prominent as it is with the Golf's, but its still there as far as my ears tell me.

    PS - you can hear it in this short video:

    Help me find a camera that won't fall off the back of the Polo (due to drag caused by the hatch back Aerodynamics/physics 101 suggest it will be pulled off).

    I will do a video of my Polo "TSI" ABT blurt o-tron as the ABT Cat back/diffuser can be used for the GTI

    Um...Hate to disagree, but it certainly does "fart"!

    Just picked our new one up yesterday and it sounds great!

    Ok, so not as great as a Golf R or S'rocco R thats for sure, but still has that distinct GTI sound!

    Guess its a matter of opinion...
    Picked mine up Friday and was only comparing it to my Golf GTI.
    Agree, the Polo certainly sounds great....had a great run yesterday...Warburton - Marysville....Black Spur....plenty of twistes
