2001 Volkswagen Polo GTi review from UK and Ireland
"High spec, sporty and fun"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Rear de-mister elements faulty - window replaced under warranty.
General comments?
I like just about every aspect of this car.
Nice and quick. Pulls from 20mph in 4th and still has all you need at 80+ on the motorway. 70 is reached at 3200rpm with power climbing to a peak at 6500rpm.
Very comfortable. Sports seats mean that you can drive for hours without any aches or pains. Electronic A/C, CD changer and PAS just add to the pleasure.
Excellent handling although the stiffened suspension trade-off means that bumps in the road are a lot more noticeable.
Rare, distinctive and very high spec including Xenon headlights and internal sensor alarm system.
