5 things I LIKE/DISLIKE about my GTI 

Hi, great video! That beeping sound at the end warns you that your headlights are on. Try to switch them off and the beeping is out ;)

Great video bra, i'm still in college, i hope one day i will buy GTi.

Another enjoyable video mate. I like your down to earth attitude and the fact that your driving a car that's not a m135i or golf r.

The exhaust note I've found has got better with age...3rd gear from 4000rpms onwards is my favourite note. Saying all that, I still miss the sound of my Abarth 500. I'm glad I'm also not the only one who thinks it should sit a bit lower...a few mm's lower and it'd really look the part.

Channel content is amazing, well done Chris

Great video. Agree with all of it after owning mine for three years. Well done! Thumbs up!

Just bought this, its so cute! thanks for the review. Helpful

Cool review... Currently owning a Comfortline TSI but seriously thinking about getting the GTI

Your steering wheel looks great! Do you built your own clubsport? How did you make it?

Great video. I have the same car and agree on most points.

I've got the Polo Gti 1.8L Turbo as well. I've done the OEM+ Software tune, intake, and res-delete as thus far. I've got to say... It drives more like a dream than stock! Haha

Hi, do you have any video or photo where I can see the beam pattern of the headlights? I've spent hours trying to find any photo of it, but I haven't found anything :(

Where abouts in Cheshire is this mate? I'm stockton heath ways and looks near knutsford, you've got some belting b roads for blasts around there 🤩

I'm so glad someone agrees with me about the ride height bloody miles off the ground and good video mate I couldn't agree more

Don't know why your GTI makes the beeping noise with the key in the ignition and the door open, mine doesn't. However, my biggest hate for this car is when it rains. You open the window even a little bit, woosh, water from the roof ends up directly on the interior door card - more specifically, RIGHT ON THE WINDOW SWITCHES. I agree the height could do with being dropped about an extra 20mm, and I think this would help to resolve some of the over steer I experience from time to time as the rear end gets a bit tail happy. I love my Polo GTi and I completely agree with everything you have said. Another irritating issue, but kinda comes with the territory trade off of interior space, is the boot size, it's tiny, lol. That said, I still love this car and it looks even more awesome in Blue Silk :D

good video, more vids on the polo please! thinking about getting a gti model, is yours on finance or did you buy it outright?

The lack of standard features on the Polo is madding. I have one in Pearl Black with the Park and Cruise pack which they were offering for free for a while. I couldn't bare the car without these features. It's simply a must have and its ridiculous it doesn't come as standard.

Class video mate...couldn't agree more with ignition dislike!!

But you got that carbon middle mirror bro LIT!!!🤣🤣🤣

Test drove a GTI before getting my 1.8TSI Cupra Black, chose the Cupra purely due to the sportier feel, weirdly the Polo GTI is smaller inside from a driving position (I'm 6'4") not to mention the Cupra is a rare sight in comparison! Have to agree with you on all of the engine points you made, it pulls hard no matter what

Hoping to get one of these soon. Only thing is the insurance. I will be driving for a year now come May and will have 1 year NCD. Who’s a good insurance company to go with who aren’t to dear and don’t have a black box policy?

Cold air intake, APR Stage I ECU tune, lowered springs and Pilot Sport 4's on mine and it is PHENOMINAL. Addresses the issues you report report.

Seriously thinking of getting 2018 polo gti plus.

How tall are you? Would you recommend at 6 foot?

So can you get climate control / cruise control and a auto-dimming rear view mirror on these?

i coud agree to all of what you said though the noice with the ignition, why dont you just turn the ignition off? if its on for the radio use the radio will stay on when you turn it off, the radio will stop if you take the key out

when out stage 1 tune on that pop rocket machine?

I have also a Polo GTI 230 and im super happy with it :D I have installed a Remus Valve Exhaust and it sounds mad! A mix between a Fiat Abarth and a a45 AMG :D

Got a 6c GTi identical to yours..............and it's bloody brilliant............. absolutely love it..............now I understand how hard it is to keep a white car clean...................holds off the latest shape Focus STs very nicely.................. Apparently..........lol..😉

Hi, Were you driving around Mobberly near the church on the corner? - !!! - Great car the Polo Gti - You could use lowering springs maybe from VW Racing but some of the ride quality would suffer a little but you'd corner like you were on rails!!!

Mate the last one use to drive me insanee!!!! But I managed to get it coded out easily aswell with other things and must say I have a stage 1 dsg but sounds much better with some good fuel dsg farts for days!!

Like - performance, comfort, interior space for supermini, styling, 5 door option (unlike fez ST). Dislike - Clunking brakes (when braking after having moved back or forward, pads moving in caliper), temperamental touch screen in cold weather, poor tyre wear (bridgestone's), sidelights do not illuminate when unlocking car. Excellent car lot more pros than cons.

Fuel consumption?

My biggest complain about the car is the ride hight. It looks like a monstertruck - especially in the rear. This is the first thing I will change on it, once I payed it off...

Lack of decent armrest. Or the fact that the handbreak is under the armrest was just a dealbreaker for me.

I was annoyed about the bleeping sound myself , so I just coded it so the icon only shows up instead of both

great video, i agree with your comments, am looking into getting one myself, your steering wheel looks different is it non leather, I've asked my local dealer if i could order the car minus leather, for personal ethical reasons! I'm still waiting to hear back. love the look with the sunroof too

8:05 I'M DYINNNGGG🤣🤣🤣

You'll be easily putting them fiesta STs to shame 😎

Great video, are you confusing the xds with esp? Xds won't stop you crashing, it aids traction only by sending when a wheel slips under power and diverts power away from that wheel to the other and vice versa mimicking a lsd. I personally on the polo think it struggles a little and needs a mechanical one. What do you think to the gearbox feel? I love my polos torque as do you but thing the gears are a little too long? Oh and notchy! Any plans to modify?

Revo or APR Stage 1?

Wheels look very nice mate

I love mine and it is fully specked up great little car

subbed m8.mine's is white manual with climate control,parking sensors, cruise control and sat nav but i don't have the sunroof😡. Its a great little thing

Ordered one with cruise control and parking sensors without the sport mode dampers. :) Yes I am aware of the slight lack of exhaust sound. Perhaps I install a Supersprint exhaust to it...

These older videos with you and your GTI convinced me to get my GTi. Quick question, i know you obviously don't own the car anymore, but did you have an Alcantara cover for the steering wheel?

2:57 The steering wheel suede is that an extra option for the GTI? Or did you buy it separately. If so where did you buy the suede from? I want one!

How much is it monthly bro

Yeah the lack of standard kit is a abit of a rip off, I had to add the following options to make it half decent.. Convenience Pack - Polo £245 Sport performance pack - Polo £260 Parking pack - Polo £450 Car-Net App-Connect £165 Front centre armrest with storage compartment £110 Still if you order via the likes of carwow or drive the deal you can get a good saving but it still puts the price up quite abit from a stock GTI.

Totally agree with you the Bridgestone tyres are useless. Had this car for 6 months now and they provide no grip at all! Hoping to get them changed ASAP

"When I fill it up every week it cost £50 " I wish we could still say the same now

Mate liked the vid and agree with your views but would add no point revving this engine to the red line its all mid range power, and once you do have fun in it , it drinks fuel at a shocking rate

Love a Polo.

Are you sure its a 45L tank? the canadian version says 50L I cant imagine them changing that sort of detail between countries. The extra 5L maybe there, but Reserve. so might be difficult to use all 50L.

How did you decide between the manual and auto? Can’t decide myself

I'm picking mine up at the end of the month, not the smartest of moves concidering I'm furloughed 🤣🤣

This is definitely going to be my second car I've currently got a 1L 16plate Kia picanto 😂

subbed!

Dsg with the sport mode is louder

Is this the 1.8l or the 1.4l? I’m looking at the 1.4 so just curious which one this is

Have you had your steering wheel re trimmed?

Coilovers i reckon :p

does it come with sat nav as standard?

I think you should have gone for a peugeot 208 gti with the issues your having... It is manual, sounds better, rides lower, better traction as uses pilot sport 3's as stock. Nice interior, comes with ALL extras etc and finally sooooo much cheaper. To let you know ive just bought a polo gti because I want 5 door and i like the softer ride and got the dsg for convenience

I have this car for almost two years and i hate stiff suspension. On not perfect roads its very uncomfortable.And i very dislike slowly falling revs.In first gear with little gas in around 2000 rpm i change gear to second and rpms didnt drop but raise a bit and slowly falls down.So when i put gear it shakes with motor and its very annoying.With fulll gas around 3000 or 4000, changing gear its ok.

What kind of difference does climate control actually make? I ordered mine yesterday after hearing that was the last day to order a current-gen GTI 😅

Didn't understand a word of what he was saying within the car. Turned on subtitles. Weirdest stuff I've ever read. Still don't know what he said. :D

Liking and agreeing everything in video then disagreed with the fuel tank and optional extras. The fuel tank needs to be smaller, Why add more weight, it is supposed to be light weight smallish engined fun car.

Couldn't agree more with that ignition noise. And the lack of kit. I have a Match and it's got far more on it than the gti. It makes no sense whatsoever.

Orrr...hear me out...just turn the ignition off when opening your doors and shit😂🥴

Just bought a polo gti @aedan_gti

Terrible sound!
