The UPDATED VW Polo GTI is here, but it comes with a whopping $10,000 price increase!
Today we are going to go review the new AND facelifted Volkswagen Polo GTI hot hatch to see if it’s really worth its enormous price for a mini hatch!

@carsauce Would you recommend the regular Polo at around 35k or is there a better new car for that price point? I don't think anything beats the Mazda 3.

Really enjoyed your review, had a 3 door Polo GTI a bit over a decade ago which was a ripper with APR tuning. However I must admit it all feels so old now once you've stepped into an electric car (LR3). It's not *that* far off a RWD 3 now, and over the life time of the car I'm sure it's a valid comparison.

bought one, most fun little car ever, was expensive but if you take away the body shell a lot of the Enginering is golf . and that motor is the same 2Lturbo so can take all the bolt on bits the GTI and Type R can take, tho limited by putting the power down via the front wheel diff, but a stage 1 engine and dog tune is on the cards next for mine,

This is so true. It's unbelievable how they've got away with it. Post covid, most decent cars now start at £27k instead of £17k. Utter greed

No. The money supply was expanded 2020-2023, by about 30% (look up reserve bank statistics in your country) - By definition, the value of the money in your pocket has decreased by 30%, because economic productivity sure as hell didnt rise by 30% in that time period. This is true textbook inflation: The devaluation of currency. Hence prices will rise by about 30% by default assuming everything else is stable.

I can confirm they do indeed fit a coffee cup from the likes of Starbucks etc. They also fit a standard can of drink nicely with no slip or wobble.

Seems like a lovely all-rounder. However, VW have long abandoned the ‘spirit’ of the GTI badge… a small car with a low-displacement engine punching above its weight class. The last VW to do this was the mk5 Polo GTI with the 1.4 twincharged engine… and boy did VW screw that up on the reliability front.

@dwarffortress292 Жыл бұрын

Here in Australia I got 6.5 seconds with draggy on launch. Few things to note in the video, firstly, two heavy guys in the car. Furthermore, and importantly the guy reviewing cannot drive. You need to ease the throttle more. Carsauce is simply full throttling, bouncing of 6k rpm and just wheel spinning. If he maintains a good launch and maybe starts at 4k he will achieve far better grip and a sub 6 second time. I also find the tires are not the greatest. The PZ4s I am running do a far better job. The 6 speed dsg is not the problem, however the slight detune from 153kw to 147 does effect the 0 to 100 time by .200 seconds perhaps?

Well I was in the market for one - But Ended up with the i20N instead . The Price is over the top . And it is too much of a 'Cardigan Car' eg it has taken the GTI out our GTI these days . Perhaps it should be name the GT . If I really wanted one I would get a Mark 6 - . This was just too boring for me . As the ST is no longer in Australia well you know .....But always enjoy your review Matt - they are super fun but informative

Too many cost cutting instances with this car. The high prices, with all of the hard plastics, lack of bonnet struts, under bonnet paint and the lack of physical buttons indicate that the company is after maximum profits post Dieselgate. Essentially getting customers to pay off their fines that they are responsible for. Poor form VW.

@brycem0 Жыл бұрын

VW couldn't even fit bonnet struts. Where is the paint in the engine bay and under the bonnet? Looks 👀 like a poverty pack in there.....This will be the last ice powered Polo.
