Volkswagen Polo GTI 2024 review

Want to know why I think the Polo GTI is better than the Golf GTI?

I'll go through it in this review in depth, but basically it comes down to the cost.

At just over $40k AUD, the Polo GTI isn't cheap. But in my opinion, it makes a heap more sense for a driver's car than a Golf GTI, which is now more than $56K.

So, the Polo is 71 per cent of the price of the Golf, but it's more than 90 per cent of the car...!

It might be too small for some buyers, and that's fine. But I made it work for my family (one human child, two furry ones, me and my partner) and it was great.

But would you buy one? Or one of the alternatives, like a Hyundai i20 N, Toyota GR Yaris, or the venerable Suzuki Swift Sport??
