Polo vs. Golf

[manyoo]

It depends on if the car is always full loaded. If so, get Golf

I would think the new Polo would be adequate, but until the GTI comes out, its nothing special.

30K for the Polo? I don't think it would be more than 25 drive away... The GTI should be about 30 plus onroads.

I've got the same dilemma... a second Golf, or a Polo... test driving to decide on Monday!
No kids in the mix yet, but babies will be on the horizon in the near future so have to factor that in of course.

Deciding between the exact same models too. 66TDI and 103TDI... will report back my thoughts after I sign the dotted line on Monday

If I can get away with the Polo I will be very happy, It's 10k saved that I can spend on something more worthwhile at the moment.

If kids are on the horizon, check out the boot size. It will most likely need to be able to fit a pram, some shopping, and a box of huggies nappies when they are on special. The Golf just manages to do this.

Yes, there is $10K difference (on RRP) btw the Polo 66TDI and the Golf 103TDI (all prices below).

But you do know there is a Golf 77TDI don't you? It's about $6K dearer than the Polo. Why wouldn't that be the obvious choice for you?

Polo 66TDI Comfortline 5 Door 5 Speed Manual $25,281.00
Polo 66TDI Comfortline 5 Door 7 Speed DSG $27,856.00

Golf 77TDI Trendline 5 Door 5 Speed Manual $31,120.00
Golf 77TDI Trendline 5 Door 7 Speed DSG $33,695.00

Golf 103TDI Comfortline 5 Door 6 Speed Manual $35,755.00
Golf 103TDI Comfortline 5 Door 6 Speed DSG $38,330.00

For about $30K you could also get the petrol 105TSI with comfort option. Fuel consumption will not be significantly different

How about a lightly used 103TDI ?
