Have owned this gem for 4 years now. Lets just say i am struggling to get rid of it even though i work from home fulltime. Only gripe i have is the smaller boot than the tsi and the firm suspension, maybe im fussy and reason im saying that is coz my moms wants me to give her the car when i upgrade (mind u she has back problems but still doesnt mind it so…). Fuel is not that different for me from my previous 1.2 tsi. Plus minus 1.5 l per 100km from tsi consumption really. Never had any of the claimed dsg “issues🤔”. Starting to feel like those forum queries only came from people who don’t actually live with the car. Then its the looks… everyone loves the looks! Gents & ladies. just look at it next time u see it, then tell me if u look at the new polo gti’s as long😅I cant step away from the car without looking back at it😍. And ofcos its got great push on the road. Love it. Took mine ‘Tiffany’ everywhere - Limpopo Mpumalanga and Kzn multiple times. My advise - just go for it. Find a good one - just not mine😂 not letting go of mine😅

@@nokocambelngoasheng9279 the floor of the boot in the gti is raised to accommodate the battery which has moved from the front to underneath the boot floor. Together with bits for the spare wheel this setup takes a bit of space and means the boot floor is raised compared to the tsi. Something like 40litres difference. I think tsi is 280litre boot space

This is a machine, mine is on 160 000km and it’s just start and go, the only parts replaced is the water pump and the turbo, it comes with IS12 and I’m now using IS20 (golf 7 GTI turbo) the car is a gem ❤, just start and go, it is so reliable, fun and addictive… never had any issues with the gearbox (DSG)

To any potential buyer, this car is a gem. The best polo gti ever made in my opinion. I had the privilege of driving a new one back in 2015 courtesy of my sister. Having driven this car for 2 years plus I can definitely say vw was on God level when they made this car.

Cousin of mine had this car brand new 2016 in it’s time it was so fun and fast and had a real Mini Cooper jcw feel to it. But after some time the dsg box was problematic, warranty finished at 45,000km and the megatronic gave up and they wanted R100k to replace it. My honest opinion, don’t buy a second hand sports car! Thanks for the review brother I agree it’s still the nicest Polo GTI ever made.

That's an honest review. VW has a serious problem with mecatronics. Buyers should worry if the mileage reaches a certain milestone.

From this side, having owned these two cars, they are incomparable, its hard to pick one over the other, each one has its own character and it is best at it. If it was up to me, i'd have them both at the same time.

Mine is exactly like this but manual transmission. I love it!

Had mine for 7 years, its 8 years old, done pcv valve, thermostat housing, going to do lower control arms and engine mounts this month. Did all work myself. its served its purpose.

Thanks for this one ❤️ I'm considering this or the mk6 golf r. Used Golf is cheaper(to buy) and more powerful but long term I think this makes more sense financially plus the better interior, looks like the mk7 golf. Just lovely. Would appreciate a response 🙏

I'm still in love with a 2012/14 GTi

I have the same model. 2017, 80.000KM , same colour but fully speced. So has the factory fitted review camera, SPORT button and climate control in addition to the one shown in the video. Love my car man! This shape is a legend! My GTI's name is Olivar....the car!!!! :-) Love it!

New one is not nearly as exciting, and the electronic interface is a hard pass from me. The AW is the only one to compare with the 6C, both are excellent to drive. I'm going to soften the suspension a tad on my 6C, and I have had DSG and water pump issues, so maybe the AW is the way to go if it escapes some of those drawbacks? I still think the 6C is the best-looking of any modern GTI.

Clueless kid , I personally wouldn’t recommend the mk6 Golf R since it is a much older performance car , and because it’s a performance car it was most likely driven hard and might become a maintenance headache for you going forward , but whichever car you go for make sure it has a complete service history and you buy from a reputable dealership.

Easily the best polo GTI ever made. It is also just as fast as the newest polo GTI, infact slightly quicker if both are tuned mod for mod. I have had mine for just over 5 years now from brand new, engine is very reliable as it is pretty much the same as the one in the mk7 GTI , R and S3 Gearbox is also very good just a bit limited with the amount of torque it can handle, the clutch will quite likely need to be replaced if you are running an aggressive tune with high torque (+340nm) and drive the car very hard all the time.
