Has anyone had any experiences with the GTI polo?

Yes... great car for the price. Still waiting to do some suspension mods.

I looked hard at a Polo GTi but I didn't like it. There is a bit of turbo lag and it just doesn't feel as "nice" as the Golf GTi.
It's probably not a bad car for <30 but I would look to the Mazda 3 MPS.Originally posted by BenderOriginally posted by JamesBComment

Driven (spanked) the MKIV R32 and MKV R32 (as well as the GTI variants, and own one)
I'd have to say the MKIV R32 is a better car imho, the MKV is too neutral for my liking i.e: no understeer, no oversteer (can get the MKIV sideways just nicely)
The DSG is definately my pick in the MKV cars too.
I'd get a GTI MKV with APR chip and decimate all. and save the extra cash for asthetics/wheels/hookers/blow/holiday/house deposit/shopping/light up a fire/etc etcThe liquid hydrogen turbopump is slightly larger than an automobile engine (weighing approximately 700 lb) and produces nearly 70,000 hp (52.2 MW).

based on my experience with the clio i offer you the following advice:
if it sold for $63k in 2004 it is now worth $23k and will be worth $3.50 in two years time.
depreciation for european cars does not obey the laws of reason, logic or common sense. apart from that, they're pretty good. the wine bottle holder in the clio is a nice touch, and the boot holds plenty of crossoints. i'm kinda bummed that i didnt get the one with the cheese holder tho.EMS Cold Start - starts third time, every time.Comment

Interesting take, but if anything it seems that based on the HUGE popularity (currently that is) that the MKV GTI and R32 actually stands a chance at reasonable resale. As long as they continue to be popular and the shape and specs don't chnage dramatically they could do well in 3 years time ??????Originally posted by danComment

r32 is nice to drive I wouldn't spend the money on one.
as for the polo they feel much cheaper than the gold and are much smaller. better to spend the money on a lower spec'ed golf.
I drive them nearly every day to deliver to dealers.
