After part 1 & 2, a lot of people approached me asking me what I thought of the R3 Neo, that is fine, I love talking about cars, I’m a petrolhead by profession so there’s no big deal with people approaching me about it.

Volkswagen Group Malaysia (VGM) today held a press briefing to introduce the Volkswagen Polo GTI. Delivering 110kW/150hp, it is the most powerful Polo since the series was introduced over 30 years ago. The exterior and interior concept of this potent super mini is deliberately true to the legendary Golf GTI.
