    The old saying of "there is no replacement for displacement" has fallen by the wayside.

    Now all that matters is power to weight ratios and a tuned Polo GTI has it.
    Add in all the fancy electronic aids and you end up with a fairly tractionable vehicle that will hamer when you need it to.

    That first shot is just awesome, i would have been freaking out with 1 wheel on the track and leaning off camber.

    I'd have the second that. I loved my Cooper SCabrio, but this is better and cheaper

    The 1st picture is why you ask LOTS of questions before buying a demo

    If it were me it would have been a consequence of me being totally out of control. If it were me I shudder to think what the next few seconds would look like!

    It looks worse than it is, turn in with a trailing brake and hit the curb = 1 wheel action Gravity is a godsend when it comes to 1189kgs of Polo GTI

    Hello new desktop

    Interesting that they're using a new press car, either the red one with Xenons has become afflicted with the dreaded 6000km supercharger clutch squeal or been bent, as well as the white 3 door..... Add another white 5 door with a panoramic sunroof that was at the motor show..... looks like VGA are up to their old tricks of putting themselves ahead of customers again...
