No surprise at all really, that's why I bought one. Best car I have ever purchased

The old saying of "there is no replacement for displacement" has fallen by the wayside.

Now all that matters is power to weight ratios and a tuned Polo GTI has it.
Add in all the fancy electronic aids and you end up with a fairly tractionable vehicle that will hamer when you need it to.

That first shot is just awesome, i would have been freaking out with 1 wheel on the track and leaning off camber.

I'd have the second that. I loved my Cooper SCabrio, but this is better and cheaper

So the question is: The first pic, was that Gavs or Frostee?

2nd picture is more like me...

The 1st picture is why you ask LOTS of questions before buying a demo

If it were me it would have been a consequence of me being totally out of control. If it were me I shudder to think what the next few seconds would look like!

It looks worse than it is, turn in with a trailing brake and hit the curb = 1 wheel action Gravity is a godsend when it comes to 1189kgs of Polo GTI

Hello new desktop

Interesting that they're using a new press car, either the red one with Xenons has become afflicted with the dreaded 6000km supercharger clutch squeal or been bent, as well as the white 3 door..... Add another white 5 door with a panoramic sunroof that was at the motor show..... looks like VGA are up to their old tricks of putting themselves ahead of customers again...

I think that 1st one could have been me driving through the park yesterday

What the? Because the heading of the article wasn't enough to give it away? What do you think 'Volkswagen Polo GTI is bang for bucks champ' means...that it came third?

Pretty Pis*poor comment there mate, some people don't get motor magazine and would be interested to know. Maybe a filter is required between the brain-keyboard next time, just a friendly suggestion?
