MurgaGTi Posted November 21, 2005 Report Share Posted November 21, 2005 Think they're roughly the same performance wise...... prefer the Lupo though but I may be a little biased style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":P" border="0" alt="tongue.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmmm, tough question style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":blink:" border="0" alt="blink.gif" /> style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":blink:" border="0" alt="blink.gif" /> .Get the Polo if you want more room, otherwise it's Loop everytime.

MattyB Posted November 21, 2005 Report Share Posted November 21, 2005 Lupo GTi is quicker - its lighter. Its also the better drive according to many a magazine.I do like the looks of the PoloGTi though, and they do have more room (and a few more toys) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
one litre wonder ;) Posted November 22, 2005 Report Share Posted November 22, 2005 where as i would hold out untill the brand new polo GTi comes out with the 1.8T lump in it and then superchip it and then have the same output as a Ibiza cupra style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gavs_arosa16v Posted November 22, 2005 Report Share Posted November 22, 2005 A bloke in a polo gti keeps trying to race me. My 16v sport kept him at bay. Let him past in the end, because I knew there would be a que round the corner, he did not get very far style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" /> . I would think the lupo gti is quite a bit faster than the polo, if my 16v can beat a polo gti. I know I cant keep up with lupo gti's, as experienced on the way back from gti festival.

Funk-star Posted November 22, 2005 Report Share Posted November 22, 2005 (edited) I have read that the polos have gearbox problems, and it is very pricy to get fixed.Plus polo is a anagram of LOOP style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" /> Edited November 22, 2005 by `funk-star` Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scotty g Posted November 22, 2005 Report Share Posted November 22, 2005 Polo is a tad more heavier. As above really, if you dont need a huge boot go for the loop. Although my local vw dealer does have a black 5door polo gti which is good cos peaple dont like getting in the back. style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":(" border="0" alt="sad.gif" /> BUT BUT BUT BUT BUT.....................The loop gti does have a......6 SPEED GEAR BOX. How cool is that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petes 16V Sport Posted November 22, 2005 Report Share Posted November 22, 2005 Lupo --> a lot lighter actually, not only smaller, but some parts made from aluminium to weight save, this translates to it being faster. It also has a different gearbox to the polo, which is not only better ratio wise, also is meant to be more reliable. The car mags say its the better drive to.Polo --> exactly the same without aluminium I think, its bigger and heavier so slower, only 5 speed gearbox and apparently not too reliable a gearbox, but you do get more space, and possibly ESP? not sure bout that tho! Hope I wasnt too bias but in conclusion id say lupo everytime for laughs! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

miss dillinger Posted September 14, 2009 Report Share Posted September 14, 2009 Polo = ladies carNot necessarily, I've seen some really nice polo GTi's that don't look anything like "ladies cars" My boyfriend currently has a polo GTi and he's had to have the gearbox done twice in a year. Don't recommend you get one, not unless you want to change the gearbox every 14,000 miles.Still...not a ladies car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
