lupo is affordable but a bit small really. will be like our main car for a while as i still have only the one car, so want something with a bit of space....
also the bbs split rims are sexy!
1.6 16v yeah but its a small car, 0-60 in 8.5? so not disapointly slow

consider a bora TDI.. much more reliable.. the bbs rims on the polos tend to corrode quite badly they do look nice and go ok, not too unreliable, we dont really see many at work except for services..

i got my polo gti 2 months ago and i love it to bits. Nippy handles well and the benefit of awesome build quality!!
Engine wise, they arent tuneable at all.
Would love to get mine on some coil overs and refurb the alloys.
