Debut: VW ID.Polo GTI

On paper, this looks like a pretty fun package in most ways. I could be wrong but I believe the price point may draw comparisons with the Mini Cooper SE in Europe, and if so it'll be interesting to see which car reviewers favor.

I would love an ev GTI in the states. There’s a real dearth of small fun evs on the horizon. Only thing which has caught my eye is the R3 and R3X but a 250+ mile range fun GTI sized car would be awesome.
I don’t know if I trust VW to make a good one though.

I had an electric Mini Cooper and it was great. Much more fun than the Mk 8 GTI that I tested.

While the car looks beautiful, a 7 second 0-100 and a top speed of 175 kph is undeserving for a GTI

The current Polo GTI with an ICE does 0-100 in 6.5 seconds. VW themselves say the EV version does 0-100 in 6.8 seconds. It’s close enough that actual drivers won’t really notice any difference

The new gen polo should not be slower than the old gen polo

It's an EV

Exactly why it should be faster.

Should be sub-$25K, not $45K.

I think Opel GSE and Peugeot 208 GTi are the better and more powerfu hothatches. Brabus smartes are a class of its own.
