Volkswagen’s Polo GT has been the closest we have had to getting to a hot hatch for a while. The diesel GT TDI is the one with the manual, while the petrol TSI is the Automatic. Volkswagen has slightly updated both the GTs and I got to drive the TSI. With a 1.2 litre turbo charged 4 pot petrol engine in the front, producing a 103bhp and 175Nm of torque that kicks in at just 1750rpm all the way to 4100rpm, the power band is very accessible.
The GT TDI is powered by a 1.5 litre, 4-cylinder, Turbo diesel mill which can make 103bhp at 4400rpm and 250Nm of torque from 1500-2500rpm. All this power and torque translates into a top speed of 183kmph and a 0-100kmph time of 10.51 seconds. The GT TSI on the other hand produces the same 103bhp of power but at 5000rpm and only 175Nm of torque from 1500-4100rpm.
