From its humble beginnings, the Volkswagen Polo GTI has matured into a proper grown-up hatchback. Someone would even say its now occupying the same spot as the Golf 5 GTI did back in the day. Nevertheless, is it any good? Watch the video review!
The Polo GTI now leads a lonely life in a segment that was once buzzing with compact hot hatches. The Fiesta ST and Renault Clio RS are no longer sold in the South African market and so buyers who want GTI vibes but can’t stretch to the R700 000 needed for a Golf GTI are left with limited options.
Volkswagen recently facelifted the entire Polo range and the updates are quite significant. We sent our in-house race ace Ashley Oldfield to tear the new Polo apart (metaphorically speaking of course) and tell us if this latest incarnation of the Polo GTI is Vrrr Pha or Vrrr Meh.
