Petite in stature, nimble and with potent performance, the Polo GTI is a rapid and fun car that for what it lacks in size makes up for in lively entertainment. Equipped with a 1.6L 16V Petrol engine, a lightweight sporty body, BBS Alloy wheels and a unique GTI interior trim, the Polo is a miniature, millennial menace that will provide energetic amusement at a low cost.
Recently imported from the Channel Islands, this 2000 registered Polo GTI is an honest example of the model. It boasts genuine low mileage and an advisory-free MOT dated February 2023. There are a few age-related blemishes but it retains its attractive good looks. Aftermarket coil over suspension and recently refurbished BBS alloys add further allure to the car, which now sits poised and ready to hit the roads.
