Promised to be the fastest, most responsive and cleanest hot hatch yet, the polo seems to fair well against its closest rivals of the Renault Clio sport and the Seat Ibiza Cupra.
Performance figures are impressive with an output of 178bhp at 6,200rpm and 184lbs ft of torque from 2,000rpm. These figures get the Polo GTI to 62 mph in just 6.9 seconds and keep it going until it reaches its top speed of 148mph.
