VW Polo GTI 2015 review - pictures
Gallery of the 2015 Volkswagen Polo GTI review
The VW Polo GTI competes with the MINI Cooper S and Peugeot 208 GTi.
The Polo GTI is much like a smaller version of its sibling the Golf GTI.
The Polo's styling features are inspired by the larger Golf, with a honeycomb grille and red pinstripe detailing.
The VW Polo GTI features a 1.8-litre TSI engine with 189bhp giving meaty performance.
The Polo's interior is supremely well built.
The VW Polo GTI lacks drama so it's not very exciting to drive.
The VW Polo GTI has lots of grip and feels composed in corners.
The VW Polo GTI's battery has been moved to the boot for better weight distribution, but this makes the boot small compared to rivals.
The VW Polo GTI is available with a £245 'Sport Pack' adding dynamic chassis control.
An extra £630 will endow the Polo GTI with some rear doors.
The VW Polo GTI returns decent economy and road tax is fairly affordable.
VW's dealers placed next-to-last in the 2014 Driver Power survey.
Back seat space is decent, but access is better in the five-door car.
The back seats fold down to create 882 litres of space.
The VW Polo GTI is poorly equipped as standard.
Claimed economy is 47.1mpg thanks to stop-start technology.
