Imo the Polo looks much better and ignoring outright tunability of the KO4 engine, the polo is a better all round package unless you need more space

The Ed30 is easily the ugliest of the bunch here.(readies himself for a flaming lol)



Its massively cheaper to own and when modified like for like its actually faster around track. :innocent:

Tbh VAG have accepted the flaws of thus engine, hence them releasing a newer revised engine with a different engine code to the current "CAVE" model engine.

When is that out ?

I really dont mind people knocking the looks of the golf, except for you. You have clearly bought the ugliest car ever made and as such given up any write to comment on the looks of anything.

It is the equivalent of the Elephant man telling the world that george Clooney is ugly.  :laugh:

Yep you drive one don't you? Therefore your opinion is irrelevant  :signLOL:

On a serious note I think the leon is  :sick:
I like the polo gti in red and would have one. I miss my polo G40! 171.5 BHP and weighs 600KG  :driver: that was a car! Tell a lie it was a metal box, no abs, power steering,traction control or anything lol and the brakes may aswell of not been there!

Well hopefully when the revised "bullet proof" engine comes out, VAG will do the decent thing and recall all affected cars to put the new engines in them!!  :mad:

I'll not hold my breath though.

Mine has been going through oil like there's no tomorrow. Just last Saturday I topped the engine up, and in 200 miles it's got through over half a litre of oil!!! Going to give the dealer a ring to get this looked at because it's killing my wallet!

Shaun, that cant be right? I only had to top up 1/2 litre in that very Polo in over 3000 miles. Granted, it needed a top up when you brought the car, but that cant be right.

Anyone one know if there are any issues with the 2008 Polo Gti's? As I think I'm also going to have to change from an Ed30  :scared:
