When you want performance, looks and the right price then the VW Polo GTI is the car for you.

VW Polo GTI

For $26,990 you get a two door sedan with a GTI badge on the back and the performance under the bonnet to match the GTI tag.

Production of the VW Polo range is shared between South Africa and Spain but the GTI comes from entirely from Spain. The base model Polo comes with a 1.4 litre petrol engine but the the GTI is turned into a pocket rocket with a 1.8 letre turbocharged motor.

That turbocharged motor lifts the Polo from 0-100km/h in 8.2 seconds and gives it a top speed of over 200 km/h. It runs on premium unleaded fuel and returns an excellent 7.9 litres per 100km.

Standard equipment includes airconditioning, cruise control, stability control, six airbags and more.
