It gets a tilt and slide panoramic sunroof too. The Polo GTI is a hot hatch because of the firepower Volkswagen has given it. It has a 1.4liter Twincharge engine coupled to a 7 speed Dual Clutch Gearbox. The engine makes 180ps at 6200rpm and 250Nm torque from 2000-4500rpm. The DSG is a dry clutch version of Volkswagen Group's pretty renowned dual clutch transmission. I have to state that this is the most technologically advanced small capacity engine that we Malaysians can buy at this moment. Just think about it, the twin charge engine is actually a 1400cc engine that makes 180ps (over 100ps per liter) by way of a supercharger to bring out low end grunt and a turbocharger for power at the higher rpm. It is a heck of a complex setup and note that after this generation of the Polo GTI and the Scirocco 1.4, Volkswagen may not produce it anymore due to its complexity and cost. Of course, with complexity comes maintenance costs, but this for now is another matter - I shall discuss reliability somewhere down below. Driving the darn thing. It is easy to find a nice driving position in the Polo GTI.
Much nicer and sportier with the sports seats and a sightly flat bottomed, sportier (perforated leather for better grip) steering wheel with 'GTI' embossed on it. The steering wheel adjusts nicely and is of a very nice shape to hold. You then start the Polo with a traditional key too. Now once on the move you notice that the DSG works like any other automatic transmission. The gear changes are smooth and instantaneous. However unlike a normal torque convertor transmission it isn't a paramount of smoothness and needs more modulation than you'd like. It has the feeling of a regular manual transmission clutch in its initial take up and needs a bit of getting used to its feel. No, you'd never stall like a manual, but you feel that it does have a clutch down there somewhere. A lot of choices and I've used all depending on the time of day and location.
Keep it in 'D' for most normal drives and everything is smooth. The ride of the Polo GTI is of course busier than the usual Polo. It feels more firm and nuggety. Most bumps are still very tolerable and things smoothen out once you're cruising at around 110-120kmh. In fact hit 200kmh and you still feel secure in this car. There are no harsh crashes or any of that sort even if you encounter a large pothole or speed hump. It is slightly busy, but not of the head nodding variety, and not till you'd rather opt for something else instead. There is more tyre noise compared to the standard Polo, but on 215/40 series tyres, its about right but not loud and irritating. Make sure you have good tyres and all should be well in the road noise department. The Polo GTI is one car which loves the accelerator pedal being prodded.
