hi Miss(hope you are really a female

)
i can clear you out on the 1.2cc thingy. the 1.2 engine for the polo is turbocharged(turbo for short).
means if has the performance of a 2.0cc (2000cc actually) car but you only need to pay the road tax for 1.2cc and you get the fuel economy of a 1.2 cc.
difference between Polo and Polo GTI on the other hand is more of performance, Polo GTI of course has a more powerful engine
(the current Polo is powerful enough for you i believe), and probably has more features too as the current Polo is somewhat bare in specs.
as for Golf 1.4 vs Polo 1.2, Golf is bigger, more spacious, more powerful and is higher specced, so it's up to your budget
Polo's 1200cc turbo equivalent to 2000cc is being overrated...
I would say horsepower wise, polo's 1.2 (105PS) is on par toyota vios 1.5 (109PS)
Torque wise polo 1.2 equivalent to honda civic 1.8 (polo's torque is even better than civic because polo can reach max torque 175Nm @ 1550-4100rpm while civic max torque 174Nm only @ 4300rpm.. early torque translate to better pickup and some how translate to better fuel efficiency as well).
*paiseh.. i m just a good broucher reader
The 7 speed DSG is also another big highlight of VW vehicle.. the dual-cluth allow seamless gear change and you wont feel (or minimal) gear shift jerk in between gear change.. fast gear shifting reduce torque loss during gear change.. more gears allows your car to choose the more appropriate gear ratio at different speed and different driving situation.. overall better fuel efficiency because you have more gear ratio for different driving condition, lesser torque loss during gear change, and better acceleration bcos of seamless gear shift and lower torque loss..
So Miss, now you see the wonder of the polo, small but powerful, fast pickup, great fuel efficiency (award winning car), and the pride of owning a VW.. we havent even start talking about the good handling of the German car.. that will be another long story..
Golf gives even more

p/s: wat else, paying "proton savvy road tax" for a high performance car..
