the best way i see it is taking two extrreme examples, its like comparing a merc to a noble, the noble is basically built like shit but is fast and handles well so purposely built for that job the merc wont be as fast and wont handle aswell.
if you are looking for a car with more luxury and more comfort then you will be of opinion that the merc is a better car, if you are looking for a track toy or something with more thrills then you will think the noble is a better car

like steev said the 106 gti was built for speed. it is shit at handling compaired to the polo when lowered.
as for interior the polo wins hands down.
think this thread is pointless as it depends on what the buyer wants from the car and what there going to do to it.

Yeah the 106's are fun, but I would much rather have a well built car thats as you say 'boring' than something that lives in the garage, or is that just me?

Where can you drive a car fast on the roads these days anyway. The roads are either too busy or there are speedcamera's/police about.

Dont get the problem really...
Get a 106gti/vts if you want a car that you can go out in and it will put a smile on your face because of the acceleration handling and overall feel of the car, but you have to put up with the little rattles and knocks..
Get a Polo Gti if you want something that is better refined, quieter, smoother but will most likely handle alot worse and it certainly wont be as quick.

christ the way your talking it sounds like the polo is an old barge and the 106 is a rip snorting beast 
agree with what your saying about a car that feels so much faster and more fun though as thats what old minis are all about,in reality they aint fast but by god they feel it
