      I prefer 5 doors... the DSG is a non starter (not that we even get a Polo option in the US! :( ), so Golf it is... Good to see a new video. Cheers!
      Edit: we have a tuned MK6 TDI... it was a blast, but never got the suspension, etc... it deserved. Dieselgate got it first.

    I have the Polo GTIplus, have driven both and the Golf is better but then it should be as it’s 50% more expensive. The Polo is more of a point and squirt machine. Anyhow I love mine. Also like the size on small narrow roads. Will be going stage 1 soon, could do with a mechanical diff tho although I’m being picky.

    The Golf is of course bigger and more respectful on the road but it's fun when you get underestimated by others when you are driving the Polo and make them regret trying to bully you🤣

I want sensation, I press button and that's it, not as GTI, but very close, and I forgot when I put petrol in the car, i think in january and I am not joking at all, driving it every day for daily living [gym, work, shopping]. GTE is the best performance car what they made

      It rides real comfy in standard mode though crashes over potholes. Incidentally mine pops on the over run in sport mode, I suppose I can hear it with the sunroof open.

    niceeee. I had a used 2016 1.2 TSI polo for about 2 months which VW changed for a brand new Polo Beats because they didn't know how to fix simple problems and their service was terrible. Anyway i aboslutely love the beats polo and it's noticably bigger than my old one. Only thing is it's a 1.0 TSI so i can feel it doesn't pick up as well. Defo gonna upgrade to a polo GTI in 3 years!!
