would be cool if we had these in america

[@nicholashki3226]

Hier ben ik weer haha een vraagje welke zou gij verkiezen ? De GTI polo of golf ? Algemeen ?

[@JohanDeHaes]

Als ik toch mag kiezen zou ik eerder kiezen voor een Golf R owv vierwielaandrijving :) Bij de GTI's is de Polo wel een pittige auto.

[@Tryingmybestsince1999]

This polos nowadays are the old golfs...

[@saucysimpson259]

is it just me or does the dual clutch seem a bit lazy?

[@aderbalnunesm]

I heard too

[@deonvanheerden9898]

Yes its not the DSG as we know it. Sounds like its almost slipping....

[@Alexlegrand294]

ruclips.net/video/O0-gHjxHylo/видео.html

[@ZeitdiebX]

It's the ZF DQ 250 twin clutch transmission. My GTI will arrive in June but I already have years of experience with the dry clutch variant of that gearbox in my current car.. So yes, there are situations when the DSG takes a slight moment to select the correct gear.. but it's not really worth mentioning.. in a test drive, ok. Everybody is looking for possible flaws, but in normal day to day traffic that effect is hardly noticeable. It depends on the current status of the internal gyro sensors and the throttle... drive downwards and don't push down the throttle too hard and the DSG has to guess what you want next.. Car goes a bit faster because it is driving in a downward angle.. but you don't push the throttle so what do you want ? Go faster next, which would be indicated by the increased speed going downward.. or stay at that speed because you don't push the throttle down ? Tough question... DSG is a pretty reliable system but it doesn't have a clairvoyant mode... you will not really notice these reluctant gear changes in everyday traffic.

[@greaser3069]

Its letting the engine rev out. Keeping it in its powerband longer to extract more power.

Bedankt. Heb het aangepast. Het moest 33.875 euro zijn.

[@hellforr]

hey johan heeft de polo gti ook een gti sleutel standaard ? groetjes Miguel

[@JohanDeHaes]

Hey Miguel, sorry ik kan jou daar niet meteen een antwoord op geven. Alle info die ik had over deze auto heb ik hier gezet: www.carstested.com/nl/2018/06/13/2018-vw-polo-gti-200-pk-pov-rijvideo/

[@Alexlegrand294]

Your first impressions in driving it ?

[@JohanDeHaes]

This Polo was very fun to drive. It felt like a genuine GTI, very sporty to drive and great sound. The Active Info Display looked stunning.

[@Alexlegrand294]

Thanks for your first answer. Did you hear the exhaust shots from inside the car when driving it with the sport mode ?

[@Djoxiiii777]

What do you think about claims that it accel 0-100 in 6 sec?

[@ZeitdiebX]

I would think it's ridiculous because the factory has that at 6,7 seconds... and that is realistic in sports mode with launch control system active... there are dozens of vids here clearly showing - that claim is not exaggerated.

[@Djoxiiii777]

ZeitdiebX in 90% of videos it does it in 6 sec , all vw cars are faster than they claim

[@RandomThingydiv6]

did you get 7.6l/100 km driving like that?

[@JohanDeHaes]

I didn't pay attention to the consumption

[@Nils-xp3bu]

Geil

Why Volkswagen don‘t make a Polo special Edition with the Audi S1 engine and 4X4 all wheel drive??. if one day this will be the reality i buy a VW....

[@Raphinho89]

i hate the optic of Audi A1! Looks for female...

[@MegaCristian0]

You can buy a polo wrc whit 220 hp

[@Raphinho89]

Cristiano MA the wrc is the only one come in question for me at the moment... but why not a 4Motion?

[@MegaCristian0]

Rafa Da Silva I don't know...

[@Warsheep2k6]

Rafa Da Silva 4 motion is pretty heavy especially on a small car like the polo. I'd rather have a performance with a true differential then an r with 4 motion (also you can see a golf gti performance is already faster on the track then the golf R and even this little monster here can keep track on the r if the corners are plenty)

Why the music at the start ? Not necessary. Too many people uploading on RUclips who think they are some big production company or something. Becoming tedious. We just want to see the content, not your fancy editing skills thanks. Not a competition is it

If i don't put music in these shots, then its just no sound or wind noise
