2016 Polo GTI - worth it?

[tjdixon911]

In need of a new car - thinking about a Polo GTI, I know people will tell me the Fiesta ST, Cooper S etc get better reviews but I'm not interested in those, the reviews I've read say it lacks feel / involvement and can feel cramped if your 6ft+ I've had previous incarnations of the polo and a Fabia VRS which have both been fine.

There are a couple for sale local (ish) so may go have a look at those.

Am thinking a relatively standard, manual car.

Anyone have any experience or should I pay the extra for a (slightly older) golf GTI?

The one and only.

I've had one for about a year now and think it's a decent, quick little car. Had a R56 Cooper S previously which was much more fun to drive but the Polo is a decent all rounder.

Thanks, the idea is for it to be an all rounder, doing 15-20k a year.

How do you find cabin space?

There isn`t any. Unless you`re a dwarf.

Having always had a Polo size car it's never really bothered me but I did have a Golf courtesy car for about a month recently and do really miss the extra space now I'm back in the Polo!!
