The GTi polo is now only available in DSG anyway, I don't think no auto will make a difference, besides who would buy and auto hot hatch

That last bit is a joke before anyone gets the gloves off.
I know that was in jest but funnily enough thats exactly the prediciment I find myself in. A Polo GTi would be at the top of my list if it came in a manual, I dont want an auto hot hatch.

As it is I will probably find myself in a second hand LV XR5 in the next year or so. Not sure if I can wait until the new ST. Even if I could I probably couldn't afford one anyway lol.
