Is there a Polo GT TDI on the cards?

Phaeton and others, does anyone know if VW are plannin to put in the 16v Tdi into the Polo? Also will they be bringin out a GT-TDi in the near future?! Cos that would be a rocket ship

TDI a chance I reckon but gt would be unlikely as too similiar to gti performance-wise...

could be a good thing though, giving the choice of engine for diesel enthusiasts ?

www.volkswagen.co.uk VW UK sell a Polo GT 1.9 TDI 96kW I think.

I doubt it will come here, perhaps next gen Polo

Just a thought - if any of you guys want something closer to Polo size with sporting dynamics and frugal sporting performance, you should test-drive the Fiat Punto 1.9TDi Sport - an absolute hoot!!

Fiat Punto is a fantastic looker I have to agree & based on the new Opel Corsa wheelbase which can only be a good thing...........however...........I saw one of these Fiats come around a corner & accelerate off & it fair dinkum sounded like a truck, not a nice sound at all, couldnt live with that. Fiat Punto Abarth coming early-mid 2009 will be the biz, 2.0 petrol turbo from memory

I tested out the 130hp Polo TDI with the 6 speed gearbox and was a little disappointed.

The engine and gearbox combination was very impressive, although a little hollow below 1800rpm. Rather loud though.

It had very good grip but the body roll really bothered me.

Welcome mate. It would be "hollow" below 1800rpm as the turbo wouldn't have spooled up yet. Also, it would be brand new and very tight. You've got to get the knack of driving turbo diesels to keep them on boost and it take a long time for VW motors to loosen up.

Good to have you here. Your timezone suggests Western Europe. Please post your location
