Standard vs standard there aint much in it ... 106's are a little quicker and handle a little better ... but .... polo is 10x's more comfy and more refined ... 106 for stuff like tracks ... polo for road ...

correction 120bhp vs 125bhp ... and if i remeber rightly the polo has
lots more torque??
nope 114 lb/ft
106 has 112 lb/ft
106's came in 120 some later models had 130bhp

i can tell you now a 106gti is 10x the drivers car a polo gti is
the polo gti is a very good car, and does offer things over the 106gti such as reliability, build quality etc, just the 106gti is a lot further ahead in the drivability factor

granted the polo they test is a 1.4 16v but i dont think clarkson wouldve had that much better things to say about a 1600 version

ok but it all depends what you want from the car ...
you shouldnt really be testing out the total handling of a car on public highways anyway
