Nice... IMO more like the original Mk 1 Golf GTI than any subsequent Golf GTI...
18 grand...? hmmm... pushing it!

Those rims are bother me. VW change the design, please cause they?re just a copy from the GTI

Renault Clio RS is still the class leader. And there is also citroen DS3 WRC edition on its way. vw has not done such a good job with this polo gti. It is expensive and doesn not have enough power (Clio 200bhp, DS3 is also expected to have around 200bhp), but it has a DSG, which can be an advantage... We will see, but I believe that Clio RS will remain on its trone.

GTi's have always been understated in their design.
If you're in the market for a small discrete hot-hatch,you'd go for this one.
If you're more a 'look at me' kind of person, you'd opt for the Cupra.
VW didn't miss the mark because both cars are aimed at different customers.

If I would go for a small hot hatch, I would go straight to Ford, but if I'm recommending a car to a friend, I would recommend this.

Is it just me or are we missing something technically here. Twin charging on some larger engines might have a really nice effect. I wonder why they don't use it on some of their other models as well, and why other automakers don't either... I'm no engineer so I may be overestimating the benefits...

The 1.4 TSi engine produces the same amount of horsepower as a 2.5 L four-pot and consumes 1/3 of the fuel the latter uses.
I believe they do use TSi tech on larger engines, I think the largest so far is a 3.0 L?
Why other companies don't build similar engines I don't know, I suppose twin-charging an engine isn't as simple as VW made it look. I think reliability issues are still unknown.
I consider VW engineers to be the best in the industry, the DSG gearbox was simply brilliant German thinking. Developing a twin-charged engine seems less exciting but still constitutes out of the box thinking in my opinion.

Similar size to the original Golf GTi - is this its true successor? but I'll have Seat's Ibiza Cupra Bocanegra instead

twin charging is good in that it gives the smaller engines a higher torque and power output. i think vw claimed the 1.4 tsi has similar torque to an n/a 2.2L

Also, twin-charging apparently becomes less efficient when used with higher capacities (although the Zenvo ST1 uses them).

OMG this is one beautiful little car !! I just love the way it looks, we will have to see the prices to make a right judgement about its succes. As the first look is very nice to see .. but with a pricetag near to the IB Cupra, i don't see a good future to the GTI !
PS - Is it useless to say that i would still prefere the 1.8 20V engine used in the Polo GTI 9N3 .. maybe with some extra power, Euro 5.

very good looking Polo. But in term of performance, Clio RS win

On the (yes "GTI"!) rims front - the 17's should now be reserved for the Polo and
Golf GTI should get the machined 18's as STANDARD (not options!) 19's from the R should be the Golf GTI "upgrade"?
