The Volkswagen Polo is only two years younger than the Golf, yet it took 19 years for Volkswagen to finally determine that its city car would be a good fit for the sporty GTI badge. In between the first Golf GTI of 1976 and the original Polo GTI of 1995, the German brand believed its Passat family sedan and wedge-shaped Scirocco coupe were worthier recipients of the famous trio of capital letters (though there was a supercharged Polo G40 in 1991). The ‘sixth generation’ Polo GTI released this year, then, is technically a fourth-generation model – and only the third to reach Australia since 2005. So, it’s a relative newbie, and certainly lacking the heritage of its bigger brother. It’s slowly closing the size gap, though. With the latest Polo breaching four metres in length, it’s almost as big as a 2003 Mark 4 Golf.

Renault Clio Renault Sport 220 Trophy review
I had to double take when I looked at the spec sheet for the Renault Clio which arrived for testing last month. 217bhp in a B-segment hatch is beyond hot. The fastest Peugeot 205 GTi was 130bhp, the first Renault Sport Clio was 172bhp and, pre-facelift, the current-generation hot Clio boasted an output of 200bhp. In 2016, the faster ‘220’ version was released and, along with a cosmetic facelift, Renault’s engineers upped the power, increased the torque and reduced the shift time from the trick paddle-shift gearbox by 50 per cent.

Before you get excited and presume the accountants have had a rethink, though, this is just a visual special edition based on the existing, 220bhp RenaultSport Clio Trophy. The Clio 220 Trophy is a pretty sound base car, mind, so long as you’re happy with a paddleshift gearbox.
