I saw a NEW Polo GTI driving past in Albany yesterday

& they really do look like it shrunken Golf Mk5 GTI

At first I thought, what is wrong with that Golf GTI ??

Then realised it was a Polo GTI..

Looked pretty good in red

Spotted one too just now today!!! Was sitting up in Auckland hospital (was visiting someone there) and looked down on to see it coming down the rd.



Unfortunately it passed by too quickly for me to zoom my phone camera in and snap a decent shot  :P

What are the new Polo GTis priced at?  In Oz they are AUD30,000.  Very reasonable for such a cool car. (I am guessing EMD will tack on the usual "I want it to be exclusive" premium)

The volkswagen NZ website has them at NZ$33,990. About the same as the AU value u quoted. I reckon they are pretty good value too. Will have to go for a drive in one I think.

$35k mark, hmmm, about the same as the 5door Polo GTi was, 4-5 years ago.
Polo GTis are cool 8)

with such a reasonable price you can also afford to get that sex change operation.

This is a three door??????  Older Polo Gti's were always sold 5 door NZ new.. if I am right, this
is a real suprise!  Actually NZ new Gti's for that matter (and this is a big stab in the dark) always came
in 5 doors..  right?

I think the new Polo GTI is far more sportier and far more masculine then the Mk4 golf ever was.....
