New VW Polo GTI
Last Updated:
This is actually closer in size to the original Golf based GTI. Smaller than the current “regular” GTI.
It seems really fun too. Comes with a 1.4 Liter engine with 177hp.
It would be great to offer this much fun in such a small package in the US. Going against the Fiesta…
Can you say pocket rocket?
If they build this polo gti in germany i will buy one, if its built in mexico , forget it !
How much?
Uhhh who cares?
It will be woefully unreliable.
i lovethe way the new Polo looks, especially in white GTI trim with the black roof. i think it would sell over here if the price was enough below the Gold/GIT.
They're cute, but I'm just too big a guy to fit in one. They say a 6'5" guy will fit; but my knees hit the steering wheel and my line of vision is through the shaded top of the windshield. Probablly better suited to someone with a chinese build than an American Athletic build. I guess that's why my bias runs in favor of "Real American Iron" like Challenger, 300, Escalade, Navigator, Ram, MKS, DTS, etc. A cute car for chicks, though. The plad seats are a nice feminine touch.
Keep in mind in Europe there are other choices, like the Renault Clio or Citroen C3 with 200 hp…..
Sweet little car. They need to get back to basics like that – their cars have become too pricey in the US. Getting back to the spirit of the original GTI is a great idea. Keep it affordable!
I saw the new Polo in Reunion and it is a very nice looking small car.
