Volkswagen Polo GTI
Its interior is designed for four people better go five width ago. In any case, who will not buy this Polo thinking this.
More performance and lower consumption
F46 When we tested the 1.4 TSI engine from 180 hp in the Ibiza Cupra and we were surprised by their ability to accelerate and recover, giving a feeling of carrying a 2-liter turbo engine as the Golf GTI. Besides consumption obtained were quite content to all running and power level.
Well, the Polo GTI has again surprised us again because it has slightly better performance in Ibiza, plus it is noted that the wheel is a little more than the car Spanish, and their consumption has been lower in the one liter means obtained. It’s a car that can be used perfectly for day to day because its consumption is very affordable. Of course, we must take into account the need to give to drink 98 octane petrol price and superior to the conventional 95 octane.
The 180 hp engine at 6,200 rpm are just 800 rpm before the cut shot. But perhaps the fact that more has to be emphasized is the torque, with a constant value of 250 Nm between 2,000 and 4,500 rpm. Remember that this engine is equipped with twin-charger (turbo compressor on one side and on the other) that work individually or together.
All this means in practice is always the engine from low revs up to full cut, with a very good push and carry us feel more horses under the feet of those who really have.
The gearbox is the 7-speed DSG although we continue to see slower than a 6-speed DSG equipped models of the VAG group.
The steering wheel paddles are another important point that emphasizes the sporting character and that change is a cinch. Of course, you have to get used to dealing with 7 speeds and at first we can make a little mess, as usual will get to the start of the curves one or two gears below what they should do with this change.
Another star is the XDS system, combined with the operation of ESP and TCS, acts like a limited slip differential without the need for any additional mechanical element. It’s not as effective as a mechanic, but the result obtained is quite satisfactory.
