DRIVEN We get to grips with the first electric CTI

FOR some it's a shock, for others a blessing: Volkswagen is turning the GTI philosophy electric.

The Polo is the first to get the treatment - and we've already driven a prototype.

Essentially, you're getting two cars in one here because the GTI transforms at the touch of a button. In its normal driving mode, it's quiet, accelerates smoothly, and irons out bumps easily.
