What would your next car be after the Polo GTI?

I was mighty impressed with the fiesta ST after following one around Queensland raceway a few weeks back. The driver is very capable, seen him steer his Porsche GT3 around QR, and whilst for this event I wasn't highly committed, I think it'd be very close if not very marginally quicker around QR than my car. In saying that, my misses has a fiesta we haven't seen for a month while the DCT box is being rebuilt...

Its not going to be on my list, but the almost $8k price drop to $29k for the Clio Rs will have heads turning...

Before getting the Polo, I seriously considered waiting for the RS. I'll definitely be checking it out when it comes out in December

I'll be waiting for the Clio RS Gordini

I received an email on the Clio RS, seems as if the cup will have most of the options as standard "R-link etc"

I saw a new Clio (not the RS) on the road yesterday in Taren Point. Red P-plater driving the socks off it. This sounds awful but coming up behind it, I thought I was coming up behind a Chery hatchback!

Agree. They look like crap.

Haters gonna hate, I'm not complaining that it has 147kw...before tune

...And only 240nm of torque...

Remember torque talks, bulls**t walks!

Personally I dislike the look. Renault has really picked up their act In the looks department since the last Clio/Megane but the Clio is still to be desired. The Megane RS on the other hand, very fine indeed, just not 4wd

I do love the details about the car that the radio in the Clio spits out! Really good for track days...but nothing else really

One must remember its running a 6 speed "dry" clutch and torque has a bit to blame for clutch issues in the current VW range "Dry 7 models".

So there must be some form of logic behind it...I've been looking at a Cup+ / Trophee Megane RS...but with all that power/torque as a FWD...nah uh >.<

The new Polo GTi / Golf GTi would have to rock my socks for me to remain with VW or its associated brands.
