Polo GTI? Anyone got one?
Random I know, but I am thinking of getting the 1.6 polo GTI (2000 or 2001)...
Does anyone on here have one or know if there are any issues with them?
Thanks.

Excellent car, I work at a VAG bodyshop and there are no warranty issues. Make sure the cambelt has been changed, it is expensive as you need to
change the tensioners at the same time or they shatter taking the belt with them and consequently the engine as well.
If you can keep you head, whilst all others around you are losing theirs, you are not fully aware of the situation

About 40 in normal use, 35 if you try really hard, 50+ on a gentle long run
