DubDub Posted September 23, 2005 Report Share Posted September 23, 2005 Front looks good, like golf, not to sure about the rear.. bit plane looking? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

db Posted September 23, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2005 Agreed, the front looks spot on with the tinted headlights and the red around the grill, although you'd expect xenons as standard. The arches don't seem to be flared much and the rear looks a bit bland. It's listed on ETKA with the 1.8T 150 which is ok because it's tuneable as we know, but in standard form i can't see it being quick enough. Expect 0-60 in about 8.1 secs as thats what it is with the engine in the ibiza. It would be an opportunity missed if they didnt put the 1.4 TSi in it.

Blue Loop Posted September 23, 2005 Report Share Posted September 23, 2005 (edited) Initially no xenons, not even an option for at least 3 or 4 months after the cars debut. Engine will be 1.8T 150bhp. Wheels are the same style as the Golf GTi only in 16", Fox GTi will have them in 15"?. base price will be around 20.000€apart from that... i want one style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" /> Edited September 23, 2005 by Blue Loop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArosaMike Posted September 23, 2005 Report Share Posted September 23, 2005 Pipe down everyone! Be excited that VW have made a Polo GTI and stop trying to rubbish it. OK, so it looks similar to the Golf....but is that really a bad thing? It should handle well, it'll be pretty quick, it'll be well made and it will be tuneable. Name me one current car in a similar price bracket that can compete with it (and no....the 182 isn't a current car 'cause it's now discontinued). Anyone would think this was a Vauxhall forum with a bunch of people who don't want VW to succeed in making a range of driver orientated hot hatches.

Alfie Posted September 23, 2005 Report Share Posted September 23, 2005 (edited) i quite like it! tho not sure on the fox gti, looks too tall!<{POST_SNAPBACK}>Lol quote from that site "Muy bonito. Pero no llamadlo "minigolf"como en forocoches"To be honest im generally unimpressed with the way car design is going and i agree with twisty b-road. The golf, lupo and the polo where all really inovative designs when they first came out , none of them looked the same. now they are just all variations of the same car and it just shows that either they are running out of ideas or they are just being lazy!Looking at the new leon its pretty sweet but lets face it ITS A F*****G ALTEA WITH A LOW ROOF!! Need fresh ideas!Alfie style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":twisted:" border="0" alt="twisted.gif" /> Edited September 23, 2005 by Alfie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gargoil Posted September 24, 2005 Report Share Posted September 24, 2005 Any info on UK release date for Polo with the 1.8T?I promise I won't tune it!Much! style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Si_GTi Posted September 24, 2005 Report Share Posted September 24, 2005 Release date pencilled in for January isn't it? style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":confused:" border="0" alt="confused.gif" /> I'm not sure on this one, I'm kinda 50/50. I like the idea of getting a more tuneable powerplant in the Polo GTI, I sort of like the rear lights a bit but would have smoked them to match the fronts... but basically the concept of making the 9n3 GTI in the mould of the Golf 5 GTI can't be a bad thing, I think the Golf is bloody fantastic, despite only getting a short two laps driving one I really really want one! style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":rolleyes:" border="0" alt="rolleyes.gif" /> I would like to get a test drive in a new Polo GTI when they become available, although with a bit of luck my local stealership will be on the ball and will be phoning me up offering me a set of keys and a trip to North Wales with a tank full of fuel style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":lol:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" /> Seeing as the 1.8T unit is quite tuneable, is it likely that VW will have modified it to fit the car's characteristics or will it be straight out of a Golf mk4 with little or no tinkering d'ya think?BTW, if I were to have one, it would absolutely have to have xenon lights style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="B)" border="0" alt="cool.gif" /> Oh and as for the Polo Cup, the 2004 series (using previous generation Polos) cars all wore the Votex kit, so it is possible that the shots of the Polo Cup cars are kitted out the same way...? Also, I much prefer the single-exit 'zorst on the Cup cars to the twin-exit on those transporter shots style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
