A&Q about 350Z
Q:
I was stood at work today (my 2nd job) bored out my face when my cousin pops in. He asks me to come round the back of the shop as he has a suprise for me....
Got round to the back and there it is! His new car - the new Polo GTI. He took me out in it, we were only out for about 15 minutes but my first impression was a big
It sticks to the road, the official 0-60 figure is a bit conservative. The power is available from the bottom of the rev range and it really pushes you back in your seat when you put your foot down.
The noise is just something else, they have definately got it right! The exhaust note is perfect and you can hear the turbo spinning up (it made me grin ).
After taking it down the dual carriageway we went back into town, everyone just stopped and stared at the car.
I will hopefully get some pics up tomorrow (I didn't have a camera on me at the time )
Lets hope they bring out the 180bhp stripped out version
Im still grinning now
A:
Sounds very interesting, I'm currently waiting for my local dealer to get one in for a test drive. Although I think the best combination could well be the 1.4TSI engine!
Oh and hurry up with those pics....
A:
I raelly want a new Polo GTI. Great option for a budget Golf GTI, similar styling for 3/4 the price.
A:
personally, i dont like the other shapes i think mines far nicer
A:
AutoCar didnt give it a great write up. Saying its way better than it predecessor, but still not as good as some of the competition in this area. Plus the Ibiza Cupra is cheaper and has more grunt.
A:
Sorry for the late reply - I couldn't find my camera so I got him to use his phone instead...
A:
same dash as the early 1.4 FSI's blinged up!!
looks so much like the golf GTI it's amazing!!

Yup, only with a badboy bonnet.
A:
I like that.
A:
its horrid sorry!!
A:
Thos photos dont really do it justice.
Much better pics there.
A:
wow its got nasty seats, a tacky dash board and they paid 20 quid to have those chrome door things that u can buy out of max flower!
im so glad i got mine lol
A:
Nasty seats and the other bits you mention? You dont like the Golf GTI either then? The interior trim is taken from the Mk1 Golf in the 70s, the classic GTI Tartan trim.
A:
no i dont like the mark 5 golf, and the mark 1 doesnt have the other tack to go with it plus that tartan is REALLY tartan! i dont like how they have red stitching on everything either
my saxo had a nicer interior
and tbh thats my opinion it doesnt matter if its off the mark 1 etc i dont like it
A:
No comment!
A:
That looks amazing, though saw one at a dealers the other day and they sit very high, nothin a hacksaw couldnt fix though. I even love the interior.
20VT??? So 300bhp is on the horizon???

But then I dont like the dodgy seats in the MK4 either

£14000 OTR If only they dropped the price!
A:
£14810 to be exact!!!
Talking to the salesmanager at one of the local dealers, he doesnt reckon there is a market for them! And agrees its too expensive. They didnt shift many of the MK1 Polo GTI.
And anyway, pop to a SEAT garage and you can get one of these:
Ibiza Cupra with 180bhp 1.8T for just £14425 otr.
or
Ibiza FR with 150bhp 1.8T for just £11975 otr!!
And save a few bob

much better choice imo, looks far nicer, goes much better and does without the polo's awful rear lights
A:
