The Polo 7 GTI is a beaut, one for the books to be exact. The paint colour, the LED lights, the rims, its whole look and feel will have its owner with a smirk, especially in traffic. With a four cylinder 1.8-Litre turbocharged direct injection petrol engine it kicks out 141 kW of power at between 4 300 and 6 200 rpm from the 6-speed manual transmission. The 7-speed DSG transmission kicks out 5 400 to 6 200 rpm. It should be faster than its Polo 7 Rline sibling. The variations differ due to technical differences in the design of the transmissions. The same applies to the torque values: the DSG delivers a maximum torque of 250 Nm between 1 250 and 5 300 rpm whereas the manual gearbox version delivers 320 Nm between 1 450 and 4 200 rpm. Fortunately, the differences in torque have no effect on the vehicle's performance. Volkswagen claims fuel consumption to be at 5.6L/100 km with the 7-speed DSG and 6.0L/100km with the 6-speed manual. The Polo 7 GTI accelerates from 0 to 100...

The Volkswagen brand has reimagined the Golf GTI and made the MK7.5 a powerful beaut. The Golf GTI is mostly known for its speed and “Vrrpha” sound which makes it safe to say that the car has an attention seeking attitude. However, the car has been improved. The car feels comfortable and again the word precise comes up. The new VW mk7.5 enhances the drivers’ concentration to make sure that its brilliant handling is felt and enjoyed. The car sounds awesome of course leaving no excuse for you to push down that acceleration peddle. The drive is swift and the gear shifts are hardly felt. As you drive the car you will realise the clear view you get from the drivers’ seat with the small windows behind the mirrors. The safety features have been dramatically improved as they now include knee air bags, although this may be a new safety regulation which requires all vehicles to have it.
