Any views, must say I quite like it. Was having a look on the VW site today, love the interior and I'm sure from a distance you'd think it was a Golf GTI, however at

has this got the 1.8 T in it? giving 150bhp?.......... might be nice it you turned it up to the 1.8t's customary 220 bhp!

It has yes.... another bonus I supose !!

15K for a min car???????????????? No chance!!!!

it might not go to 200+bhp

the little ibiza's don't normally due to different pipe work or something to fit them in.

i'd rather have that over a fabia though, petrol power baby!

If you want a petrol driving style it's a great little car

Would make a good base for a 300bhp monster. IHI, GTXXR... :drool:

They look good out out of the box as an all round package, but still too expensive imho.

I'd agree, they look good but its the price. Interestingly enough I was flicking through some fast/modified car type of publication and they had a brief article about the new Polo GTI.... some company apparently is already offering a tuning package to take them up to 300bhp (EDIT its AutomobilTechnik apparently !!).

considering diesels are normally more expensive this car is around 4k too much

Its just back to basics 1.8T tuning, doubt its anything radical tbh. There are Ibiza 1.8T's that have been running 300bhp for years.

the polo is better specced as standard though

esp, rear electric windows, bigger brakes, climatronic, mp3 player, 3rd head rest plus probably more i haven't noticed and then probably better residuals on top of all that.

what discount do VW offer on them?

Suspect the new Furby VRS may be similar... but a little cheaper.

And diesel of course

And diesel of course

Can't have everthing. :P

Can't have everthing. :P

This is why there are separate model ranges

Btw when's that Octy II diesel vRS coming out :P
