If you're looking for a quick and discreet supermini that brings with it the trappings of big car quality, this Volkswagen Polo GTI is well worth a look. This sixth-generation version was arguably the first model in the line to deliver a truly enthusiast-orientated driving experience and Volkswagen gave the whole package a more polished look and feel with the late 2021 update that created the car we're going to test here.
Throughout automotive history, there have been cars that would have been remembered far more fondly had they not been overshadowed by far more illustrious stablemates - and here's one of them, Volkswagen's Polo GTI.
Part of the reason for that is that in the past, the Wolfsburg brand has never really given this model what enthusiasts would see as a 'proper' GTI engine. But all that changed in 2017 when this sixth generation version was first launched, complete with the rorty 2.0-litre EA888-series turbo engine from the Golf GTI. The Polo GTI's time should have come.
It didn't quite work out like that: partly because of high pricing, partly because the manual gearbox option we were promised was only imported in tiny numbers and partly because of the excellence of the competition, mainly this Polo model's long time nemesis the Fiesta ST, a model latterly joined by the equally impressive Hyundai i20N. Undaunted, Volkswagen took the opportunity to rejuvenate this 'AW/BZ'-series Polo GTI in late 2021, as a more polished, quality alternative to those two cars. Does it stack up that way?

You have done it again, my second car bought because of your review. Keep up with the excellent work you are doing.

Afaik the UK model has a 7 speed DSG, not 6.
Always enjoyed the feeling of driving a Polo GTI, such a shame about the gearbox. I know it’s probably fine and drives very well but personally for me you can’t beat being able to select and boot it in the gear of your choice. This particular model does look well equipped inside and the turbo is a big plus but without manual gears I expect I’ll be looking elsewhere for my next “fun” car.
Excellent review, thank you. You have helped me cross this of my list.
Fantastic to hear Davey! 👍 What are you considering are your next car?
Have I not seen this before ❗️
Hi Mark, not sure what you mean?
Exactly!?I got this recommended but I have watched this video before....there was no red bar below though
There's a shorter version of this in-depth review that is edited from this down to around 6 or 7 minutes.
I prefer the polo to the golf, I owned the Mk8 Golf R and hated the interior and the software platform which is different to the one used here in the polo, this is a very good in depth review
You prefer this over the mk8 R? Seriously?
@@ajmufc2415 the software platform in the mk8 R I had was terrible , but I had a an early model , I’ve now got a clubsport one of the last built with updated interior and love it 😊
Did you just say torsion beam suspension? That's the cheap option for micro cars. Not a performance model. Also there is no performance pack option

I like the Polo better than the Golf.👍
Why's that? What do you like more about the Polo?
Beats me why so many people rave about the Polo, uninspiring to drive, lifeless steering that offers no feel or feedback whatsoever, suspension seems unsuited to every surface the car is driven on, seats so uncomfortable every journey over 50 miles results in a sore back and bum for both driver and passenger and more often than not at least one leg going to sleep, takes forever to de-mist, tiny boot, a below average car that has somehow gas-lit it's way to popularity. Avoid.
Appreciate your honest views 👍
Not a good long term buy due to VW reliability issues and so so customer service.
Need three doors model...!!!
i really wish these reviewers would stop talking like they are auditioning for top gear. just speak normally ffs.
Far to expensive
Thanks for watching 👍 Would you consider leasing as a financial alternative?
