    Love this video, just found one with 58,000 miles and managed to buy for £3,100. Had for 2 weeks and had a smile on my face the whole time. Cheers for covering the mighty 6n2 GTI!

    I was 21 12 years ago with a cupra r and I always liked the 6n2 GTis, especially brave owners with the 1.8t engines. Good to see some appreciation for this little and great looking car.

      225-300bhp with a k04 is a lot for a polo. Rainy days would need a light foot.

    I have one now, paid £3250, silver, 5 doors, all original, 60k on clock. It needed alloys doing and bonnet and wings resprayed which I've had done. Looks spot on and drives really well. I had a few bits done with the engine, mainly replacing anything that would affect performance and timing belt. I really enjoy it and I get quite a few positive comments.

    Love these cars! I've owned 2 at completely different ends of the spectrum and plan to get another one day. Still have a set of the factory BBS split rims sitting in my shed. Such a good spec for the year, xenon lights, electric windows and sunroof, 6 CD changer in the boot, climate control, the lot!

Anyone who has owned one will tell you the gearboxes are shocking but plenty of spares out there if you know where to look.

  • @CooperTrooper27
    @CooperTrooper27 3 роки тому +1

    Bought one about a year ago for 1k at 19 for my first "sporty" car and I did enjoy it but I bought it from Birmingham so that kinda says the condition it was in, it was slammed and straight piped but drove pretty terribly. The engine is great and I liked the interior but many things didn't work and when it came to the mot it failed pretty badly and sold it for £500 about 6 months ago. In my opinion if you have one i would hold on to it because I kinda wish I did but with the way the prices are going I wouldn't buy one as there's a lot more car you can get for the money, such as a mk4 golf gti like I've just bought for less than my 6n2. Overall good car if you can find a clean one for cheap, quite fun to drive and look great but prices are getting ridiculous now to justify
