  • @MrTingaling1600 have you seen the rs taking turns ?  its just not right to have that amount of power in a fwd

  • @grezzer31 modern hatchbacks may have more horsepower but don't forget they're a lot heavier, 120bhp in such a small car was decent back then. Also if you came have more than 250bhp in a front wheel drive why do Ford make a focus RS500?

  • "120hp is a lot.." Lol hatchbacks have 250hp nowadays, and you can't have any more power than that for a front wheel drive

  • "falling insurance rates" :(

  • @SKnight2208 Ok.. don t have a problem..this is your opinion...every saxo that i look to buy was in very bad condition ( talk about 1997 models)..Polos are still in shape

  • @Airnickgr: haha my bad, but i still wouldnt say its better than the saxo and the pug!

  • @SKnight2208 it is not a standard polo ...it os the 16v version which has 101 HP...and i didn t tuned by myself...i just buy the car!

  • @dilawer321: hahaha yeah i reckon your spot on there mate! ;)

  • @Airnickgr: Oh and im not saying you couldnt get 135bhp out of the car... but that would require spending some serious dolla on it. and seeing as your only 18...

  • @Airnickgr: oohhh rrrright, well these are some pretty exact figures your giving here...

    A standard 1.4 polo has 60bhp, im going on estimates here, but your saying an exhaust (10bhp), an induction kit (3bhp) and what im guessing is an ecu remap... is giving you an extra 100bhp, out of a 1400cc engine...
