In India when it will be release

I have one got it last week (traded in my 1.4L Gti 2014 in on it). Got it with all the options. It's very good. The 18" wheels do make for better handling (cause I test drove one with the std 17" wheels). The biggest thing I noticed was the cars engine does not seem to "work" as hard as the previous models (the 1.4 and the 1.8) to deliver the same power and speed, so it does not feel like I'm stressing the engine. All in all its a good solid drive, very similar to to the golf 7 Gti. (My brother has a mk7 Gti) this polo sits very close to it, and the launch control is almost better than the mk7 Gti and in 0 -100km against the golf, it's basically like splitting hairs. Obvously the Gti 7 still has abit more pull in the higher gears and the polo almost starts to limit at around 235kmph while the golf can still pull past that. But from robot to robot, a Gti 7 owner would be hard pressed to best it cause I can tell you....it is well capable of keeping up to its older brother. Best part is they now manufacture them in my country (South Africa) so the car actually comes in around almost 5% cheaper than the 1.8L which was previously imported. To me it was a no brainer......this car is good, it defiantly surpasses both previous polo Gti models by a long shot.

I have to admit that the GTi plus is a nice motor, ive recently purchased the plus and I am overjoyed.

Nice review ! Good to see something different :) keep up the good work ! Quick question : what mpg you get on your m2 ?

Engine, although EA888 family member, is quite different from the Golf GTI engine. For instance, it has high 11.8:1 compression rato, so called lean-burn-cycle, to reduce fuel consumption (Golf is 9.6:1). As the compression is so high, engine tuning by cranking up the boost should be done with care... to avoid pistons taking off through the bonnet... And there are quite a few other hardware changes, you can refer to the SSP (Self Study Program) from VW for more info. Also, you can check the engine code, first 3 letters are the hardware, 4th letter is the engine tune. The engine code is always shown, for instance in the door-sill, or on the spec sheet in the service booklet.

Great review. I am a driving instructor and my next car is a Mini Cooper S. Fed up being in a diesel so that’s what I am getting.

Opinion on the 1.4 engine ? I'm thinking of getting it but scared of problems

For anyone watching this video in 2021, the engine in this car is not the same as the one in the Golf GTI, It actually has the same engine as the Tiguan. It has the EA888 gen 3b while the golf has the EA888 gen 3a!

If your going to get one get the Plus I have one and it’s far better. One question how to I reset the window? All are automatic apart from opening the driver side door, on my old golf you just kept pressing open and it would reset, this one don’t.

any advice on buying a mk1 fabia vrs? are they any good?

Nice car that new Polo GTi but I would have none of that red paint on the interior. Think it looks hideous and makes the car feel way less premium to sit in.

Wow, I might just get a 2017 Polo GTI for my next car!

It makes no sense having a car that moves so fast in Europe when the speed limit is 20mph, 30mph, 40mph, 50mph and 70mph max. I drove a Mercedes Benz A180 after my Polo Beats and it feels the same at those speeds just the take off that's more intense

It’s nice but I personally prefer the previous 6C GTI. Hope to get one in the near future. I prefer the sportier 3 door looks and the fact it’s a 1.8 means it’s cheaper on insurance, not too keen on the red dash on that new GTI I think it makes it look cheap.
