Power output

Peak power is only part of the story. Is the new Polo bigger than the VR6? It's a shame the little cars are getting bigger.

From Redbook:

Length: VR6 - 4020 Polo - 4064
Width: VR6 - 1695 Polo - 1682
Height: VR6 - 1405 Polo - 1500
Track Front: VR6 - 1450 Polo - 1464
Track Rear: VR6 - 1434 Polo - 1456

As philthy said, size is about the same, weight is down in the Polo.

And yes, the Turbo should make the power more useable more often rather than peak at high revs. Even the stock unit feels pretty quick
