Lovely looking motor. If I bought one of these it would be a 3dr Candy (so I've just saved your pics to Photobucket, hope you don't mind). What's the spec like of that one you've got, any plus/minus points?

 :happy2:

I saw one of these in the flesh in CW on the M1 a few days ago and I must admit they look very classy compared to the regular MKVI GTI. If only they weren't so damned expensive.

The polo is dangerous its so slow!


....I know exactly what you mean! Fantastic mpg but every overtaking maneouvre requires major planning and is much more stressful.

The Polo is a very comfortable car for its size and type though - A good quality interior and big boot etc.

The Jazz would almost certainly be faster than the asthmatic 1.2 3 cylinder polo  :grin:

I have a Polo when my car was in for its major service early in December and RR you are exactly right with 'planning' a overtake manoeuvre.  It was a 1.4 petrol and had no guts. The interior was nice, although, I was a little cramped behind the wheel.
