I drive a 2001 VW Polo GTI 6n2 with 125 HP and 150 lb ft of torque. 5 door with 98,000 miles on it with coil overs and a K&N panel filter.
And as of 24/03/16, I can say this I raced a guy in a black 05 Skoda Fabia vRS and left him. At no point was he anywhere near, and from 80 to 130mph he was gone. Changing from 3th gear at 98 mph at 6900 RPM to 125 mph in fourth gear, he looked daft.
I am happy cos I wanted a Fabia vRS, but in the end I could not afford the £2400 at the time, and at the last minute I saw the Polo with full leather for £1200 with loads of paper work and receipts with 95,000 miles, so I thought it's the next best thing ... But as it's turned out, it's a sweet little car and quick.

Been totally chuffed with mine since new - now 116000. Up a steep Derbyshire incline, a Type R had to scream its b***** to get past me, and I wasn't trying. Mind I like the Civic - the vRS is so easy.
