[musa skhosana]

Your help and advice is greatly appreciated .

If it were me, I'd take the new Polo GTi. Looks great. Interior is better and has a bigger motor.

The new one if you can afford it. I am never keen on buying a used hot hatch.

With a bit more mileage, you can get the Mk5 facelift for R300k or less.
They are trying their luck selling it for that much.

If you can afford it though, there's nothing to think about really.

New one easily.

New one, it's not that much more for a 2 year younger car.

 

[FiestaST]

Besides younger it's all-new gen model. Efficient MQB platform, new tech, safety features, styling etc.

Still a polo ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Jeepers R9k p/m for a Polo excl insurance. Mind blowing.

If money were not an issue, I would take the new MkVI Polo GTi, based on the MQB platform using the slightly older 2.0 TSi. Being based on the MQB platform does make it look a little bloated but everything that I have read points to it being a great car with a lot of new technology.

Could get this 2018 Volvo V40 CC T4 Momentum Geartronic

But unless you strictly sticking with performance hatch's then you right there's no much else to choose from.

As with every "what car?" question, what's your budget?

Cos even if the i30N was coming, it wouldn't be Polo GTI money...

I had the 6R (previous) Gti. its a lovely car, well made. quick.... just a little boring. For this reason I would say go for the new one rather, purely from a chassic/fun standpoint.
