Well for the last couple of weeks ive been ummmming and aaaarrrrrring what car to get next.
I Have a corsa reedtop ATM and well i love it but i just want something abit less well boy racer, more practical andwill get me to nuringburg and back without breaking down and not been able to source a part lol.

As im still on 22 i cant really afford the insurance on a 20v T and a few mates have them.

I coming to the conclusion of either a 6N2 shape polo GTi or a Lupo GTI.

Has anyone ever come across/had either? I no the gearboxes and pedal boxes are poo on both of them but anything else to watch out for??

Or if you have any other ideas what to get budget 2-4k?:thumb:

I don't mind the Polo GTi but the Lupo GTi is too 'scene'. I'm not a great lover of many things VW lol

what do people mean with the 'too scene' term..?
common? not 'different' enough..?
Ide agree if anyone said the lupo's a bit too girly..
So i say go for polo lol

yes that one has been thrown at me a few times from my mates lol

its the same engine as the polo but the lupo is smallre lighter newer and has a 6 speed box On the other hand the polo is less girly bigger and comes with climate control.......:confused:

always thought joining the vdub scene is too ..... :gay: sorry can't think of any words to explain !

i may have been tempted but i think vaux is in my heart! i'm totally into the 'retro' style and its just too 'done' in vws

aircooled era i think is gorgeous tho

6n's do look good decked on coilies:

I'm partial to a bit of dub every now and again, how about a lupo/arosa sport. Only 100bhp but easier on the insurance.

gti or nothing tbh, especially jumping from an xe corsa

Anyhow, Imho a polo/lupo gti is a step back from an xe'd corsa. Assuming the xe is standard, you'll be jumping from 155bhp to 125.

Yes in speed/quickness but it's a p reg corsa. Just want something abit more comfortable reliable mature.

My friend has had a few Lupo GTI's and I have to say they are an impressive little car.

The Lupo suffers from the crap pedal box, BUT the gti dosent as its almost a different car compared to the normal Lupo.

Great car, just strong money for what you get, but then resale should be better too.
