Polo GTi Replacement

**Gambit** · 16-05-2013, 11:08 AM

Hey Guys, thinking about moving to the dark side and looking for a replacement. Not that i dont like or love the Polo GTI, but lease is coming up at the end of the year and need to cash in on a good thing. I am on a good wicket as this is my 2nd Polo GTI that replace my written off one. So looking for something different, it has to be in the same/similar price bracket, brand new, dual clutch gearbox or auto, and have 4 doors. I have one particular car in mind but looking for suggestions and ideas.

Steer away from the ford DCT as they too are having issues due to the dry clutch design. If you are after a performance hatch with 4 doors and an auto/dsg, in the same price segment with similar levels of performance, brand new, buy another polo GTI

there really is nothing else like it in the same price bracket unless you're happy with a slug family hatchback.

Yeah Gavs good point.

Spot on that's exactly the car I have been considering, the new turbo clio. Depends entirely on how it's priced.

Nooo!!!

But I'd suggest Golf R, Scirocco R, or RS265

Golf R is

actually a door extra!

Scirocco R is a 2 door (well 2 door + Hatch). This replaced the 3 door Golf R

There's a Megane GT 220 Wagon coming to Australia in June. Has 220 horses under the bonnet from the same 2.0l turbo from the RS265 but de-tuned. 5 doors and a big boot.
Manual gearbox only though.
