- Volkswagen Polo GTI review -
A self-confessed petrol head with a passion for all things automotive. For ‘Tom Bromley Talks Cars’ you will find me driving an array of interesting cars.
I have always had a soft spot for junior hot hatches. So, when I was recently offered the opportunity to have a VW Polo GTI for the weekend I gladly accepted, eager to find out what this little titan had to offer!
To many the Polo GTI has always been perceived as living in the shadow of its bigger, more powerful brother - the Golf GTI. I was intrigued to identify whether this was a fair statement, whilst bench marking the GTI against its competition such as the widely praised Ford Fiesta ST.
The third generation Polo GTI came to the UK in 2010. Originally solely supplied with an automatic, DSG gearbox - powered by a techie 1.4 turbo and supercharged engine. This recipe failed to hit the spot and many viewed the sporting Polo as being the tame option from within the junior hot hatch market.
In 2014 Volkswagen went back to the drawing board and face lifted their pocket rocket. The GTI now came standard with a manual transmission and a beefier 1.8 single turbo power plant. Producing an impressive 190 bhp and 230 ib ft of torque! This deals with 0-60 in 6.7 seconds and goes on to an impressive 147 mph.
Idiot disclaimer***
- At 2:09 and 2:16 I meant to say Polo G40, not GT40 Coupe. The GT40 Coupe was only ever available in Germany. My apologies!
