Lupo's nicer.. with the 6 speed box... and wheel at each corner handling. Still not as quick as the 106 though..... and still expensive

yea, Lupo is the way to go. Mate of mine at school had the Polo GTi. Nippy but not fast and cost a fortune. The interior was sweet though.

Yes, but that is only because they are so expensive to repair.

My mates Polo GTI got wasted by a Paxo VTR at crail......really! Both had good starts, Paxo just pulled away on the straights. If the Paxo wasn't made of Tango cans, it would have been slower. The weight of the GTi is more I think.

Polo GTi is 0-60 in 8.5 seconds.

The Polo driver must not be able to drive
