Volkswagen Polo GTI buying guide

What is the Volkswagen Polo GTI?

The Volkswagen Polo ‘GTI’ badge stands for ‘Grand Touring Injection’ and is applied to all of Volkswagen’s performance models that sit under the top-spec ‘R’ variants. 

Because the Polo is a smaller and cheaper car than the Golf, the Polo GTI is the top model and so is very popular among enthusiasts.
