The one and only 2016 VW Polo Gti 6C
Discussion
OMG! Chesney actually drives a Polo GTI what are the odds!
Now, I'm a man not a boy, and while it's nothing serious I'm with an ordinary girl who maybe isn't the one and only but she makes me feel so alive.
Although I'm young, it's no secret of the heart that what the OP really wanted was a Fiesta St, which leaves him torn in half...it's gonna be tough in a crazy world like this.

I used to have a Polo just like that one in the olden days. It was one litre and I think it had around 40 or 50 hp. It also had a carburettor and a choke. It was red. My friend, I had one, had a Fiesta, it was yellow. He could go faster then me, he did 50 mph over speed bumps. He had black stripes on his Fiesta, I had no stripes on my Polo, this made me sad. My Grandma had a Polo too when she was alive. It was a Coupe. It was blue.

Mark 1 Fiesta, yellow with black stripes would have been a 1300 S. My Mum had one in about 1981.Edited by helix402 on Sunday 30th October 17:49
I really don't like the styling of the mk7 Fiesta although I think it's the better car.
Comparing the Polo to the Fiesta ST seems reasonably fair because they're designed to compete against each other.
When I bought my Astra, I constantly compared it to the equivalent Golf GTI because it was the car that was more familiar to me. I happened to like the Astra more and it was cheaper too. The Golf is (in any measurable ways) the better car of the two, hence being more expensive

Great car OP. I've been looking at 2012-2014 M3's and C63's but having second thoughts now. The almighty Polo seems to tick all the boxes.
I don't think there would be much in it in the real world especially with a remap.
I know that's clearly a troll comment but if you look at the track videos you'll find M3's and such don't really get away unless it's long straights where obviously any extra momentum I can carry is going to get blasted by that extra grunt.I don't think there would be much in it in the real world especially with a remap.
That said for a few seconds a lap is it worth the extra fuel cost, tyres and general wear and tear?
I would argue not actually!
The funny thing is a stage 2 map with a few upgrades can go from 250-280bhp which would be more than enough to see off any standard M3 given the Polo weight.

JM - honest question for you - what is it about this car that you think others might not understand?
What it is I think is that it's not regarded as the best all round hatch of its size. I'm not talking boot size, looks, dynamics or a single area just that it combines all aspects of the small hot hatch into the best all round package that's out there currently.Yes the Fiesta is great and all but is it a great all rounder? With just 3 doors? With gearboxes that need changing 3 times if you add another 100bhp? With the ride quality? With the looks?
I would say no. But no one can seem to admit that. THAT is what I want people to understand.

I respect your passion for your own car. Perhaps though you're trying too hard to answer a question no one is asking.

“A hot hatch for over-30s; makes the Fiesta feel like a car for teenagers.”
I think this what joe is getting at.
