I went out to look at a new Polo GTI last night and ended up buying a Shadow Blue 2006 GTI instead! As much as I liked the DSG version, the old school feel of the 9N3 suited me - plus it was half the price even with the warranty. Needs a good detail and service, which the dealer will do, and I hope to get it tomorrow - Christmas Eve. Merry Christmas to me!
Also, being a bit older I won't feel so bad if I start to modify it a bit. I won't do much (tune and tyres probably) as I have a brilliant weekend/track car already. This is going to be my daily driver.

How ironic. The previous owner's name was Mintie.

congrats on your purchase

I'm also in process of buying a 2006 polo gti.... beautiful cars & awesome to drive! was going to get the toyota corolla newer version but love vw quality. I also sat in the new GTI and like you prefer the older one, not sure why but I felt the older one was bigger?

If you dont mind me asking how many km does it have and much did you pay for it?

Sup guys,

Took delivery a week or so ago of my new (but not brand new) 9N3 Polo 2.0. Got it on auction for a steal. It has a few bumps and bruises but I'll be sorting it out soon. Mechanically she's very sound. Had to "downgrade" a touch from my MKV GTi as I'm getting married soon and as most of the married guys know, the ride with the highest running costs is a wife. lol

I'm planning a few mods for it and will post some pics once she's all good to go.

Look forward to learning a lot about these little cars as I'm complete new to them.

Hi all

Went and test drove a bright red 9n GTi this arvo, with every intention of buying it. Waiting for my mechanic to look it over tomorrow morning, and if all goes well, I'll be driving it by the weekend

Cheers,
Nader.

My girlfriends 2009 Polo TDI will arrive this week! Hopefully any performance mods for the Polo will have a flow on effect to my 1.6TD Golf.........

How come it's taken so long?
I thought it was a 2ndhand car from a VW (Sth Yarra?) dealer.

Don't get it chipped unless you want to her blow away the Golf

**hiho** · 12-08-2011, 06:00 PM

It was one of the cars you recommended Kaanage, thanks mate! We got it with a novated lease - took some time.....

THe car is great. Mint condition in every way and wonderful to drive. I love it! We're still figuring out how everything works, its a bit of a technological leap for us. One problem is that everyone at work says "why didnt you get a falcon/commodore"? Too many reasons....

SO chipping will make a big difference? I was thinking that long term it would get some mild upgrades. I think i'd stop short of replacing the turbo though. The Mk1 on the other hand, well I suspect that it will be quite fast ultimately. DOnt know if our Red Pog will be tuned to the same degree.

Glad to hear that I was of some help

If you want to check the difference between remaps vs stock, we can meet up and you can try my car vs your girlfriend's - just PM me.
I have 3 different remaps if you really want to see what sort of variation in performance you can have in an otherwise stock engine.
