polo gti opinions

[maynard]

what do people think of the polo gti's? i noticed someone at work had one yesterday and thought they were quite smart. only downside is 125 bhp, would be nicer if it had a bit more.

examples below, feel free to discuss:

The owner of that lupo lives round the corner from me
Very nice car and in great condition
Would be a good buy if you can put up with the sound it makes

Just a shame it says it was a CAT C, didn't see that until i posted.

whats the noise like then?

[sampotter]

nice
but very very loud

well built cars, the Lupo is nicer than the Polo tbh, although both are tidy little german hot-hatches. Lupo pips the polo for performance too, although apparently neither handle excellently as standard. Rock solid though..

my sisters boyfriend is getting one I believe. I like them :)

[SaxoJamie]

I drove one the other night as it happens. quick enough to put a smile on your face and German build quality. not too bad on insurance either:y:

[maynard]

yeah the polo gti is only a group 12, only thinking about it for the future though wouldnt really like to spend 4k on one when i could by a 172 for the same money. its nice to dream and admire at the same time :)
