The new Polo GTi should not be snift at.......Top Gear Magazine had a group hot hatch test a while back. The little Polo posted a quicker time to 60 (6.2sec) that the Golf GTi (6.7sec) ......??
6.2 Auto express hit 5.7 in the mini JCW in a group test so maybe the polo isn't the fastest junior hot hatch after all

Pint and a Golf R for the fella... Glass of white wine/ fruit-based Polo GTi for the lady!
I found a few Golf R's and peformance pack Gti's in the low £20k bracket which annoyed me a little bit as I could easily have stretched to one but I'm not too fussed as I think the Polo does me well for what it is.The Leon is a nice looking car but a bit plain in my eyes. Whenever there's one behind me I always wonder if it's "a fast one or not"
208 30th and 220 trophy are nice cars too.

Wouldn't bother me if other people couldn't tell if it was a fast one or not, I'm driving it for me, not them! I think it's a car that looks better in the flesh. Always thought Seat can usually take a terminally dull VAG mould and do something slightly more interesting with it, aside from that wacky era when they started making everything look like an MPV.

The Astra VXR in dark blue is my pick. Stunning looks for a hot hatch. I love the wheels, but keeping them in good rubber is a pricey hobby, according to my friend who owns one.
One of my neighbours has one in navy blue, totally ruins it imo. looks extremely dull whereas others I've seen in white and arden blue look really nice.It's not just the rubber, apparently the brakes are ridiculously expensive as well!

Has to be the Scirocco R for me. Pre-facelift as i'm really not too keen on the new ones. In Viper Green also please
More of a coupe than a hatchback, but I agree it looks good. I like Sciroccos of all ages, and Corrados. Normally VW's do very little for me, but have always liked these for reasons I can't quite figure out.culpz said:

One of the best looking car's VW has ever made IMO.TurboHatchback said:
A completely subjective topic and the definition 'modern' means different things to different people but to my somewhat biased eye this is the answer:
Other variants also brilliant in the right colours:
Correct answer. Everything's just so "shouty" nowadays.Other variants also brilliant in the right colours:
Now where's my pipe and slippers?

Looks alright from the front, but the side and rear look dumpy.
They need lowering. They are so high as standard. The arch gap is just ridiculous. I put H&R 35mm springs on mine which is how they should look leaving the factory. Looks way more mean and squat.Crazy arch gaps must be a VW coupe thing because immigrants could hide in the Corrado's, whereas the MK5 GTI has a really good factory ride height imo.
