From whatever little googling(not a word) I did the Colors are different. The Normal polo and Polo GT are Flash red, paint code : LP3G.

The Polo GTI is actually Tornado Red, paint code: LY3D.

As far as I checked the above information is correct, but I could be wrong. Can GTI owners confirm the color code mentioned in the door jam.

Never saw any parked at the MMST track last weekend though!

Yes that's true. Unfortunately my friend couldn't pick it up at that time :(

Scoop! VW Polo GTI stock clearance. Now at Rs. 19.99 lakh-gti_longterm_fe_678.jpeg

678km completed, nice to see the FE number (includes numerous rides for friends and family demonstrating the 192 German horses and XDS+

).

It is a long time since I stopped in a car park to drool.

Yes, the GTI did that to me today. Beautiful in red, the two doors make the car look smaller in a sporty kind of way. Four doors look cluttered by comparison.

Superb-looking car! I wonder if the owner of _________4__4 is among us here?

Absolutely. 2-door looks beautiful. And they are huge, from inside, they give a feeling of traveling in a volvo bus or shatabdi - massive glass on the side with no end in the sight practically - B pillar is not visible unless you turn your head back. I am loving it!

This morning from Mumbai to Pune.
15.2km/l from 189BHP turbopetrol

Just got a call from the dealer (B U Bhandari, Pune). They have received a red GTI today (new, not a test drive/media car) if anyone is interested.

Sold! Just got the news. No cars available now - as per them.

Santoshbhat · 27th February 2018, 14:08

Looks like they have sold a decent number of cars here in Bangalore. Last week spotted a silver GTI for the first time. Actually two silver cars spotted in the space of half hour! Have spotted more than a couple red and black GTI's in the past. Surprisingly yet to see a white one on the road apart from the TD car.

99.9% people think it's just another Polo. But at times have also come across some people who strain their necks to have a good look at the car and have also seen some enthusiasts reacting as if they have spotted a celebrity

I stretched out to look at a red one today, but turned out to be a souped-up GT, the 4 doors gave it away!

Not sure what is the latest on stocks are... Is someone tracking?

For the pre-owned enthusiasts in KA, there is one here but asking way more than the OTR of a new one but should be available for a steal - http://classifieds.team-bhp.com/buy-...gen/Polo.html/

Hi Guys! I'm new here, in fact i joined after reading up all the forums on the GTI because i really wanted to thank BHPians anandpadhye and santoshbhatt for their SUPER informative reviews and general knowledge about the GTI. I finally got my hands on one and been driving it since a day! What a beast! Anand, it's the same last one that B.U. Bhandari had! Again, i want to thank all you guys and help whoever is here on the forums to get more info about wanting to buy one. I say GO FOR IT ASAP! It's worth every extra penny! I got mine for about 19.7 OTR! I'll be around here to answer any questions anyone has, cos i was so greatly helped by the BHPians on this forum! Cheers!

Welcome to Team-BHP and congratulations on your new purchase. You’ve got a beast of a car for a price way lesser than what competition offers.

How about you start with an ownership review of the same?
