2019 Volkswagen Polo GTI: owner review

I purchased my VW Polo GTI about 20 months ago and I guess it was love at first sight. It was on the lot in a glorious, fast red colour. I liked the look and trim from the front but not so much from the rear.

Driving it was very pleasing, especially in Sports mode. This lets the car rev higher in this mode and it is magnificently responsive. However it can also be driven sedately with the missus on board.

It's a perfect sized car for two people on holidays even with a person of the female variety who has a propensity for taking the proverbial everything but the kitchen sink.

The car is generously featured for enjoyable and safe driving. In particular, adaptive cruise control and parking sensors.
