"The Volkswagen Polo GTI is the sensible end of the hot hatchback class very much. It is fast and decent to drive, but rivals are much more fun. "

Volkswagen Polo GTI hatchback

the Volkswagen Polo GTI is a smaller version of the legendary Golf GTI and often sitting in his big brother shadow. This is probably because the Golf GTI as a strong player in the hot hatchback game is, but also because the Polo GTI rival - something like the Ford Fiesta ST, Peugeot 208 GTi and Vauxhall Corsa VXR -. Are so impressive

compared to its competitors and other small hot hatches such as the MINI Cooper S and Renault Clio RS the Polo GTI takes a much more cautious approach to the hot hatch class with adult appearance and a lower amount of sporting add-ons. From the outside it has a sporty body kit and larger alloy wheels and a lot of red on the front grille and GTI badge detailing, but it is much less in-your-face than the Fiesta ST and Corsa VXR.

There is a similar story inside , with the Polo with sport seats Tartan GTI, the recognizable golf ball gearlever, red stitching and a flat wheel. Otherwise, it's familiar Polo area with an upscale ambience and logically placed controls.

Under the hood, the Polo GTI is a 1.8-liter TSI turbocharged petrol engine, producing 189bhp. It will go from 0-62mph in 6.7 seconds - 0.2 seconds faster than the Fiesta - and it feels really fast when you put your foot down. It is smooth and strong, too, but the Polo never feels quite as much fun as some of its competitors, when you get to a winding road. It is predictable and stable, but it is lacking in excitement - and that is what this type of car is all about

Where the Polo GTI will appeal in its array of body styles and transmission .. It can in three or five doors hatch styles, with a choice of six-speed manual or DSG automatic transmission. To compare the Fiesta ST hand is only and only comes in three-door, while the five-door Clio only and comes only with an automatic transmission. We would recommend the manual - the DSG quite a bit more expensive, and it's more fun gear like this to change in a car

the Polo GTI will not cost the earth to run either, and it beats most of its competitors when it comes to running costs. It emits 129g / km of CO2, which means an annual road tax bill of just £ 110, while it should return to 50.4mpg if you drive sensibly.

As a premium price to go with the rest of the Polo range, the GTI commands with its desirable badge. The cheapest Polo GTI costs the same as a top-spec Ford Fiesta ST-3, and they come with a similar level of equipment both. For this you can find a touchscreen infotainment system, DAB radio, Bluetooth and cruise control, but you still have to pay more for luxury as Navi and air conditioning.

What buyer is looking for however is the inclusion of driving experience. For this, you will probably need to look elsewhere, because the Polo GTI is just not quite as much fun as its competitors in order to drive. It feels very fast and it is a very relaxed cruiser, but it is also missing a bit of excitement that one would want from a car like this.
