MK7 Fiesta ST vs new 1.8T Polo GTI at Killarney!!

[OrbitalDawn]

I'd take the Polo GTI every time, though. There's just nothing about the Fiesta that makes me really want it.

Something naturally aspirated, lighter and with more power - all for less money. Will have a thread on my new car up this weekend.

Sounds interesting. There will ALLWAYS be a Golf I that is faster.

Only issue with the updated Polo GTI is the rather ugly looking gear knob of the manual.

It's something MUCH sexier/more desirable than a Golf 1.

Lets not get started on those fugly seats. Looks like a Scottish Kilt.

It's in reference to the original Golf MkI GTI's interior, but local cars all have leather seats as standard.

Of course not, I wanted a fast car.

Interesting. I had the 1.4 GTi and that gearbox I know have the focus ST. the 1.4's interior was sooooo boring, whereas the ST (fiesta as well) comes with a lot more, ie. SYNC whereas my Polo didn't even come standard with blueteeth.

That price is ridiculous imo.

Naturally aspirated.... which segment?

I sincerely hope this guy isn't part of the SAGMJ with an opening line like that.

But damn that new polo gti looks mean. I think it's time I put one in my gaurage.

My FIST has 19000 on the clock and still bog standard , still love driving that car it goes round corners like it is on rails .
Waiting for the Focus RS.

And the GTI was a DSG nogal.

Impressed.

Seems VW did not get a chance to perform their usual "magic" on a test car...

 

[dj_jyno]

...did one in the ST as it was my buddies car.

Your buddy is a tool. What's with the (illegal) yellow number plate?
