VW Polo GTi Test Drive

I saw Paultan's blog and noticed that they are clearing out the VW Polo GTi for RM99,999. Obviously this is a steal and I knew it days before the cars were all sold off.

So I was invited for a test drive, by a Lowyat.net member, Hezil. He is a salesperson for VW Malaysia. This car is much like the VW Golf GTi's younger brother. Despite the Gen 2-ish front lamps, this car looks very nice in its sharp colours. I took it out for a spin on the Damansara-Puchong Highway and this car was fast and torquey. 148hp and 220Nm of torque is way crazy for a small little car that weighs the same as my Proton Satria Neo (about 1150kg). What do I think of this car? I think it is awesome, sadly I wasn't able to get any financial loan in a short period, else I would have gotten this car. They were taking my Neo for RM30,000 for trade in. Anyways, heres some pictures to enjoy. (Real sad its all sold out!)
