Less boot space in GTI vs. other Polo´s..?

[dav]

Does any actually know the GTI's weight distribution? A quick google didn't find an answer.

My dealer told me it was due to packaging issues trying to fit the battery in the engine bay. But after looking at photos of both the GTI and the 77TSI, that can't be true. The GTI just has a big open space where the battery once was.

Shame really, because I was really impressed by the standard Polo's second concealed boot compartment...

I think its 60:40.

I think its 60:40.

NZ Autocar puts all their test cars on the scales - the result for the 5 door GTI (we don't get 3 doors) was 63.1:36.9. Their Verdict was "Best performance bang for buck ever offered in a $38K car comes in a neatly finished, well-built package".

PS to my last, just found the TSI test, results 62.4:37.6. They weigh all 4 corners, full tank of fuel. TSI verdict (July 2010) "Our choice. The most sophisticated supermini on the market at present."
