2015 polo gti

[The_Hawk]

On the Audi A3 version of this engine (132kw/280NM) APR USA is producing 184kw/450NM!!!! with a Stg 1 tune only.

I'm still considering a new something next year and the Polo is a serious contender.... and with that sort of power potential it's looking better all the time

[Dimples]

Reading a review tonight - the manual will have 320nm of torque while the DSG will be 250nm because of the power limit of the dsg...

[ATYPIC]

From factory, yes it is limited to 250nm but it can be tuned up to 350 just as many tuning companies have done already with the current dq200.

Well I honestly believe the new GTI will be "the" small car to have ..... with a Stg1 tune the new Gen3 1.8 EA888 will be making the same power as the MK6 Golf GTI with a stage 1 tune (50NM more actually) and in a body that is ~200kg lighter. It will be an epic drive

Ours will be a 5 door manual ..... possibly silver, possibly red ..... (if red it will be named Baby Red) ....

Its funny actually, a year ago I said the Amarok (Big Red) likely to be my last VW, and now I'm already planning 2 more ...

Yes the new Polo GTI is going to be one great little hot hatch.

Out of interest what's the other VW you're planning to own?

Mk7 R is the other Amarok is a keeper so the R will wait till I've gone Stg 3 (K04) on that.

Thats hot, but ..... also a Peugeot with all the reliability and poor resale issues that brings .....

[Benmac]

It is a little hypocritical to play the reliability card in a Polo thread.

Hey, let's not sully the 1.2t manuals. Seems it's just the useless DSG twincharge combo.

Yes, not the Polo's that were inherently unreliable, its the worst engine gearbox combination in VW history that sullied all VW models (Golf/Polo/Jetta/Beetle) that its presence was graced with ..... twincharge/DSG combination most epic failure in VW history IMO (other than the Phaeton LOL)

This new combo 1.8TSI/manual will be a winner .....

TDI's haven't been ultra reliable either, but the 1.2t is the volume seller and the most reliable, just as well.

[aeon]

No specs or prices or options yet available from VW ...... expected deliveries to start late Q1 2015 according to my dealer. He will let me know when the order books open as well ....

Anyone hazard a guess as to when prices/orders will be available in Australia? (before the end of the year?) Just saw that they released the prices in Germany recently:

I'm pretty keen on a White Manual Polo GTI

A fiesta ST is 10% cheaper than a 3 door Polo GTI (from article) in Germany and about 5% cheaper than the RS200 or 208GTO

[UKDavo]

I'm super keen on a White Manual GTI also.

I'm also keen to see what they consider an 'Option' and what prices we're looking at for things like Xenon lights, DRL's and Nav, although apparently the new GTi comes with Nav from standard.
