lets be honest inside and out they really are special how good they look, almost like a miniature old school scooby but more refined....
I especially love them when its dusk / when it starts to get dark, the xenons glow so nice & just look so right on the car

can you get a golf 150 for the same price as a polo GTI? I would think this was a budget issue rather than a car issue!

Its a car issue. The cheapest golf gt 150 i've seen is £7,600, it had 37k which is very low plus the basic refinements which isn't much. One thing I like about the golf is 150 engine and how easy it is to get 200bhp. Im also thinking about a mini cooper s aswell now. Im confused and not sure what to do. I love my olop but also what a change. I know if I sold my olop I would miss it

hang on.
you say you're after a 6N2 GTI, which are about 3k-5k. The cheapest 150 golf you've seen is 7.6k..... so they are very different amounts.
have I missed something?!
I'd have the Golf. but for 7.6k I'd probably just go for a GT TDI Polo.

Yep!!! they look ridiculous.

I'd have to disagree. The Cooper S is a brilliant car to drive. Its a lot better then the Polo GTI.

now im not gonna dis any car here, specially the polo, but stick with the polo, but wat have you noticed about the small cars through the years? theyre not small!!!! look at the corsa (sorry for using it as an example) it used to be small, then it got slightly bigger and now its bigger still. the clio. used to be small, getting bigger aswell. the MINI...... now im no expert but im sure its called a MINI for a reason. but now it dont look very mini to me.
look in a dictionary. the abbreviation of mini says:
a make of small car. miniature, very small or minor of its kind.
and theres the fiesta, started small then a bit bigger now looks more like a small focus.
and theres the polo......... started of small, easy to drive, then getting bigger and bigger and bigger and now looks like a golf. which is why i have the 6n2 i think theyre the best of the polos as the body parts dont look to big for the wheels or height.........
this is just my opinion, im sure not everyone will agree but oh well.......
now u see my point about the mini......
