Is Golf R more reliable than GTI?
Well, both engines are capable of more power, but the Golf R is better prepared to deal with it from a reliability and potential standpoint. The GTI isn’t that far behind, though, and can, in theory, be retrofitted with the R’s improved parts that bolt on. The Golf GTI has a 0-62mph time of 6. Golf R can do it in 4.
What’s better, golf GTI or Polo GTI?
In the case of the Polo, however, the 2. Golf GTI’s 241 horsepower down to 207, but the Polo’s power plant retains the flexible feel of all of the TSi engines while being equally happy lugging from 2500 rpm or running all the way to the redline. The Polo will be cheaper to buy than the Golf, and it’ll probably be slightly cheaper to run too. Not that most Golfs will be expensive to run, but the Polo offers some of the lowest insurance costs if you stick to the entry-level engine.Sadly, this tempting combination doesn’t come cheap, but at least the VW Polo GTI’s upmarket interior helps justify its price tag. Its cabin shares most of its trim with the already pretty posh Polo so it feels more special than a Fiesta ST.
