UK-POLOS.NET - THE VW Polo Forum

I find its slow to pull away in 1st, even if i give it aload of revs

I notice most of the power is situated above 3500 or so.

I like the grip on the windy roads I drive on - its like a car on rails! the EDL certainly does it for me - I used to drive a Sierra XR4x4 2.9i and this had good grip, but the Polo GTi is even better (and the fuel consumption is better LOL )

theres too much i like about my car!

the Xenons, the standard look but now lowered with the rims i love it too bits

when i park up each morning i always look back at the car as it looks real good

i also love the power compared and be able to trick people into thinking its just a polo, and the BMC noise tops it all off nicely!

the leather interior

and the xenons

and the blue dach lights

and the overall look of the car

and the handling

and the power hidden under the bonnet

eerrmmm- is that enough??

I like my car

I love my gti too. I also call it my baby. When i was on holiday the only thing i missed was my car.

This is my third polo and most def the best. Always getting comments about interior.

Soon to start mods as well. Got a private plate on it and away to lower and get a big back box.

What can I say we have a beautiful rare car.

My brother has a saxo vtr and it just doesnt compare. The vtr is still a tinny car. Our cars are just class!!

Dont we just all love our gti's.

I have a love-hate relationship with my GTI.......

I love it for all of the reasons listed by previous posters (blue dashboard lights especially though.....and also when ppl think its a golf gti )

I hate it for being the most unreliable car that I have ever owned, for the amount of money it costs me to keep it on the road, and for the "service" I get from VW

When you hit 4,500 revs in any gear .... especially in 4th because your doing about 110 in 5 seconds flat hehe.

My gf hates speeding, i managed to get 120 out of my gti without her noticing... now thats cool!

Phill.

"Only" 4,500 revs? On the way back from Llanymynech on Thursday afternoon I had the Polo singing at a shade under 7,000 revs whilst overtaking traffic on the Welshpool road - makes a great noise

I haven't topped 90mph for over 6 months though...

Na i didnt mean change gear @ 4,500, i meant when the rev reaches there, boy does it have some pull! I find mine is still pulling @ 120 better then my 8v did @ 70...

Phill.

Oh right, yes, it does go some doesn't it

4500 is when the VVT makes the valves almost all the way open, which is why you feel the power there, I think they are fully open at 4850, the power dips after 5500 from my experience.
