A short timeframe of 13 months was all it took for the chassis, bodywork and power train to move ahead for this project. According to Bonfiglioli, it was in June of 1986 when they began designing the engine of what was known back then as Project F 120 A.

The sixth generation Polo has grown, making it larger than its predecessor in all of its dimensions. This has resulted in more interior space and a significantly increased boot volume, which has grown from 280 to 351-litres. In addition, the new Polo, with its length of 4,053 mm, is only slightly shorter than the fourth generation Golf; but it surpasses that Golf when it comes to its wheelbase (53 mm longer) and space for the driver, passengers and luggage (21-litres more).

Tyres do not perform the same when new. As a tyre wears and the tread depth reduces, the difference in performance will change. This is because tyre performance is affected by many individual characteristics; casing design, materials used, rubber compounds, tread design, shape of grooves and sipes. Modern tyre technology makes it possible to provide high levels of performance and grip from new, and through all of the tyre’s life down to the legal tread wear limit.

Perhaps the fellas over at Infiniti really, really, really wanted to produce one oh-so-badly.

To make it even worst for Honda, the local Mazda dealer then aggressively marketed the 3; this in turn became another success story, and so whenever the general public looked into this segment, the Corolla Altis, Jetta and 3 were the obvious choices.
