Re: Fuel economy GTI 2108 vs 2022


While you guys in the rest of the world are awaiting the facelift GTI 2.0L with 152KW, 320NM, and 7 speed DSG, here in South Africa our derivative will have the same engine and gearbox pre-facelift. VW SA mailed me a while back cofirming that fuel in SA is not as good so they decided to keep it ...

Re: Any one ordered the new facelift GTI?

So I've been feeling that I should have waited for the facelift model instead of buying last August, but it turns out here in South Africa our facelift is nerfed. Same 147kw and 6 speed. Its essentially the exact same car underneath as pre facelift, minus the crappy capacitive cabin controls.

Re: Interior mods/QOL accessories


I’m pretty certain that mk7 / mk7.5 Golf DSG paddles shifters will fit the AW Polo GTI, as the steering wheel in the Polo GTI is the same design as the one in mk7 / mk7.5 performance Golfs.
