Need to move on from my much loved GTI. Have been looking at the slighly newer 9N (Mk6) Polo models, with the 1.9 PD100 TDI motor. May then remap that - have heard a result of 140bhp and 230 lb/ft could be achievable. That would lessen the blow of moving to the darkside!

Just wondering if anyone has any other suggestions? Budget isn't massive at 5500-6000 and ideally needs to have less than 60k on the clock, so I know it's got some life left in it as I could have it 3yrs+. Would prefer to stick to the VAG stable, but I remain open-minded.

I'd welcome suggestions. Oh, and if you fancy a well looked after Polo GTI, look my way

Cheers,
Steve

If you can live with the sticker i'm sure you could find Skoda Fabia VRS's for 6k ish

Its based on the polo chassis, VAG 130pd engine

I've been impressed with mine.

I've had one of those! (see 'My Cars' under my profile)

Thoroughly enjoyed my ownership, but I needed to free up some cash so it had to go. The cheapest around are above 7k. They hold their value better than the corresponding VW!

Thanks though.
