As a few of you might see my Polo build, it pretty much looks like a GTI anyway, only thing is the end tbh, so im just wondering if any GTI owners now whats it like to own a 1.0 Then gti if it's worth buying the GTI?
I've worked it out so i can afford a GTI when my insurance is up for renew, it's just is it worth for an extra .6l and electric windows?

Re: Polo 1.0 Worth changing to GTI?
I went from a 1.0 to a 1.6 GTI and it was the best thing I ever did
It's alot more than just electric windows and .6l
Air con, alarm, electric windows, stiffer suspension, better handling, xenons, nicer body styling
That's just a few things to mention.

Piers - mainly a thicker front anti roll bar and it also has a rear anti roll bar which no other model has.
