Polo Gti or 86
 

Has anyone ever thought of having a polo gti insted of a 86? reasons being space, comfort, nice interior, CRUISE CONTROL... im only asking this question because im thinking of selling my car and getting a polo gti. any reasons why i shouldnt?

Your 86 doesn't come with cruise control?

I'm sure you'll get widely different opinions on here as opposed to a GTI forum.

You mean a gen coupe r spec?

polo gti has a very uncomfortable driving position, steering wheel is of center, and no matter how high I've adjusted the steering cant get my clutch released, because my leg \ knee would press up against it, if i do adjust the seat all the way back and look out the rear passenger window, then only am i able to release the clutch properly. was very keen on buying one until i drove it

Hotted up hatchback vs. Sports Coupe...

FWD vs. RWD...

Understeer vs. Oversteer...

Boring vs. fun (albeit scary)...

The 86 will teach you more about driving, no offense but you are a bit young to make a rash decision... Yes the Polo is more practical for taking your mates around, but the 86 will teach you to scare the hell out of your best mates! :thumbsup: :barf:

PS: Cruise control is for older people.. :bonk:

If you have to ask then maybe the 86 is not for you. Get a Citi Golf with a 2.0 16 V motor and get it out of your system.

Sell sell sell !!!!

no cruise control in the std model.. Scarl3t im talking about the polo 6 with 7 speed dsg... Vic yes your right im young but that doesnt mean i cant drive lol cruise control for the long road only ofcoz. Was thinking about a citi golf but here in cape town its easy to steal so thats not an option..

I drove a polo GTi last week. A friend of mine just bought one.
It's got very nice power and lots of buttons on the steering, but it handles like shite.
Apart from the power, I didn't care much for the drive.
The 86 high spec comes with cruise control. Plus the polo isn't a head turner like the 86.
If you want more speed, fit a UniQ(plug & play). You just unplug it when you take it in for a service. They can't detect that it was ever installed.

IF you're not trolling, then you obviously don't get it.

Sell.

Now.

The seats in the Polo GTi are also very uncomfortable. The car doesn't look or feel special at all. DSG gearbox is very good though and fuel cons is VERY good if that's what floats your boat.

Agreed
How many polo's do you see on a daily basis?
How many 86's do you see?
Maybe you like to blend in, I dont.

:slap:

Sell Sell Sell, make someone happy.:lol:
