What would your next car be after the Polo GTI?

[Zakarados]

Another MINI cooper s... The polo gti hasn't got the same steering feeling or the chassis balance as my old R53. Or maybe the Clio rs, but that have to be proven,if it still has the same chassis balance as the previous model.

I agree, the 6r driving pleasure just doesn't deliver as much as the numbers/specs suggests. I am currently looking for an old battered Honda s2000 to become a track car. Only thing stopping me is a '99 with 100,000km+ on it still costs 20,000!!! what the hell!

Mx5 would make just a nice track car in my opinion. And are dirt cheap.
If you're not chasing a specific category that requires the S2000's spec's then check it out.

mx5 would be good, but I'm not a fan of the looks and the puny engine. I just love the noise of the 9000rpm engine and the old school VTEC crossover.

Porsche 944 for $7k then do it up as a track weapon.

How about a 4 year old 350z Track for about 30k?

can get an early Lotus Elise for 35k~

That is the problem with buying second hand, there is always something better for a few more thousand...

A brand new FT-86 can be had for low 30s. Arrrrg.

If you want to wait 1,000 years to get one

Now you're taking.

That's what I found. My 86 practically begs to be driven hard, but it also feels great when driving through the numerous 40kph zones around my place. The Polo was capable, but not encouraging. It was more like "Oh, yes, we can go hard if you really feel like you must. But, really, I'd rather not".

I ordered mine a couple of days before Christmas & picked it up a week ago. There are plenty of cancelled orders around.

I compete in the AKA TAG series.

125 2-stroke karts - That is more than enough to sate my appetite for racing / track time.
You could run a kart in the series for around 10k a year. Amazing fun and highly competitive.

I was thinking about this today and to be honest im pretty happy with my Polo. If VW were to bring out a 4wd Polo R in the next model I can see myself going that way for sure.

Too bad the Polo GTi cant even tow a trailer. 80kg max from what I remember from the spec sheet!

[nomadx38]

Technically it can tow the same a the standard polo. Which by memory is 500kg un-braked 1500kg braked.

But for some reason (maybe the lowering / suspension / different rear section because of the battery / different rear bumper) makes it so the toy bar cannot be put on at all as an option.

Would be good pulling a trailer though, plenty of low down torque for the mountains.

[yokom46]

Ah yeah, I also have a cheap 99 Magna I use for towing and tools as a little weekend thrash about.
