Polo Blue GT

[Norbreck21a]

Surprised no one has mentioned this yet. Was in the dealer over the weekend and noticed a really nice Polo sitting in the corning. Turns out it was the new Polo Blue GT. It comes with the new 1.4 TSI 140bhp Turbocharged engine with 2 cylinder deactivation and full Bluemotion technology. Brilliant fuel economy with a combined of over 60mpg (Diesel like economy). Top speed over 130mph and 0-62 in 8.9 seconds. maybe an alternative to those who a) can't quite afford a GTi, b) don't want a GTi (or like me don't liek the alloys - sorry), c) can't afford the insurance and d) want a manual version over DSG.

Comes with a full body kit, 17" mulitspoke alloys, 3 or 5 door configurations. Twin exhaust pipes, special sports seats in Blue GT trim, High line dash with separate Fuel and temp gauges (like the Gti), Lowered sports suspension, and a really nice Blue Silk paint option (see photos below). Available now from £17,400 (2k less than a GTi with much lower road tax (Band B i.e. £20 per year) and lower insurance, and of course economical as well. Should be a very good seller.

I must say this looks the shiz

GTi performance with Blue Motion furgality - wonder if it'll make it's way to good ol SA (doubt it )

i'd definately trade in my current for one of them

Yeah i seen one of these stunning cars pricey but with the kit on it worth it! only problem i did a insurance quote for a GTI being 19 about 3000 which is not bad for me did a quote for a BlueGT £7000!! no idea why the huge hike might be due to the engine?

Seats leather? Look proper nice

[daydotz]

quite like them myself would like to have a drive of one the engine getting good reviews

first uk ones were ment to be here december but i expect they have been delayed like the other cars due to be fitted with this engine

Evesham definitely had one in last week

Nice bit of kit this for sure, still think I'd go for a used GTI over it though

I'm finding the BlueGT strangely tempting. Specced this up on OrangeWheels:

[PogoCT]

That's not bad...

[Mart!n-GTI-DK]

I really can't wait for the BlueGT to be released in Denmark...

I'm really looking forward to drive it.

But I'm a bit affraid that there's a big chance I Want one afterwards...
I have tried the Golf mk 7 with the same engine (without ACT though. That's not available on the Golf until later this year) and it's i very nice engine. Really responsive. Even though we were 4 adults in the car.

I can only imagine it's gonna perform even better in a smaller, lighter car like the Polo.
And even better... VW is going back to drivebelts instead of chains. So no more worries about stretched chains and smashed up engines.

I wonder what the real-life MPG is though.... I can't help thinking that I wouldn't let it get anywhere near the 60mpg VW claim

Shame that I've got 5 years of med school before I can get anywhere near something like a BlueGT!

ordered a blue more door Blue GT with the anthracite wheels today and a few options including xenons as my new daily driver (replacing my 500TA)

really liked this last year when i sat in one at the VW Boutique in Berlin and a bit more frugal than my Edition 35

rare cars so mines a factory order which should be here around the beginning of May

drove a R-Line a week ago and absolutely loved it
