VellfireS 4th Gear April 27, 2011 Share April 27, 2011 The new VW POLO GTI... specs look yummy for a pocket rocket... POLO GTI Wow.. I must be dreaming.. 180hp from a 1.4L engine... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coupecabriolet Clutched April 27, 2011 Share April 27, 2011 Wow.. I must be dreaming.. 180hp from a 1.4L engine... Yeah, damn attractive and value for money. Updated version of the twin charged engine found in scirocco and golf sports. Up 20bhp and 10nm torque. Giving 6.9s for century sprint, same as golf GTI. 3door version only 116800. For more practicality, add 2k for 5door version. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soran 1st Gear April 28, 2011 Share April 28, 2011 This pricing is nonsense 120K can get u the Jetta Sport (160hp) already. Same engine, capable of 200hp with Stage 1 ECU reflash or piggyback Much bigger boot, more legroom inside, RCD510 touch-screen ICE instead of the puny RCD310 ICE that VCS put inside the local Polo GTI Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not everyone wants or needs space. Polo GTI and Jetta Sport? One is a hot hatchback, one is a fast family saloon. Why does BMW sell the 3 Series coupe and the 5 Series at the same price? Totally different kind of cars right? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mockngbrd Supersonic April 28, 2011 Share April 28, 2011 Hahaha so true.... I remember when the scirocco cost less... It's still just a polo man.... Mehico car 116k? Value for $$$$ joking right? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally different kind of cars right? I agree ... coupes (3 series, E Coupe) etc are lifestyle cars and they are price differently. Hot hatch - GTis is also price differently. GTi and Jetta Sports are targetted at diffeerent sector of the market. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe, given the technology in handling, the Polo is more of a driver's car than the Jetta. Jetta is more for daily practicality... I'm very sure the Polo takes the corners faster and more confidently than the Jetta anytime. s--t, I can stop thinking about this Polo GTi.... at 118k promo price is a drool for me... Cheapest way to own a brand-new GTi...Thumps up to the 4 door option....else OC confirm not approved.. itchy heart.....haiz... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So_nice 6th Gear April 28, 2011 Share April 28, 2011 nice car but too expensive for me. maybe i should sniff out some 2007 golf GT instead. lolx Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kar_lover Supercharged April 28, 2011 Share April 28, 2011 Spec look good, price ok. But Polo is very cramped inside. U have to be of smallish frame to feel comfortable. I can imagine if u spend long time inside (especially in traffic jam) can start to feel very "trapped in"... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karu 6th Gear April 28, 2011 Share April 28, 2011 The 2 dr version looks better... This is more of a boy racer type of car. For practicality, probably should get golf. This used one looks pretty decent. $85K is what I call value for money! http://www.sgcarmart.com/used_cars/info.ph...210&DL=1000 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's like Swift I can tahan...but smaller than Swift? Cannot imagine..LOL Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Achtung7 Neutral Newbie April 28, 2011 Share April 28, 2011 definitely bigger than swift.. the trunk is already much bigger and of more useable dimensions.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jetta sport, stock is 8.5s. how to tune until 6.9s? all the money used to do that with minimal results is really wasteful. seriously, if need space and practicality, people will not look at Polo GTI or scirocco most probably. at such price levels, its difficult to have the best of both worlds between space and pace.
