Welcome carazy

Solitaire may not be the only VW dealer in SA for long

Rumours of a Mt Gambier Dealership have floated around on goauto mag site (but it may only be LCV dedicated)

[carazy]

well, I'm ok with buying from an interstate dealer if it means getting the best deal.

Thanks for the reply's guys, and the welcome.

Pics now?

Hey, WRXconvert, what WRX did you convert from? and why?

I ask because I was considering getting a 2004 WRX rather then buying a new polo.

White Polo with tint and full tank of fuel $27000

i had a 1999 GF8 wagon, the old body shape (which i still think is the fattest). She was a beauty, and was very very fast, but the amount of fuel that it used was outrageous. in the end it was costing to much to maintain her, and it was coming time for new CV's and discs and pads and so on and so forth so i weighed up my options and said stuff it im buying a new car... the best decision i have made in a while. the 2004 is a totally different car.... very nice to drive. The Polo is great though, and i know i have made the right move. even if im losing a few seconds down the quarter (stock)... i am gaining a better car.

Hi,

I'm also a WRX convert.

I had a 2005 MY05 Club Spec Evo 8 with leather, sunroof and about everything you can get with a standard Club Spec 8. Cost a f**kin fortune.

What a pile of crap.

Crappy interior(for price), Rough on the road, Bouncy, Handling was OK(going faster), Crap in the wet(back-end happy).

Had to be driven hard to have smooth changes. Lots of interior noise after 30,000kms(creaks).

Great brakes, great acceleration. Steering heavy.

Did I mention the massive fuel bill and lack of economy? Even with a UniChip that IMPROVED economy(went from 400kms stock to 520kms for a 55L tank of 9

Suffice to say. now I have a APR flash(just as quick as the WRX IMHO) and get 410kms driving normally(35L of fuel) so about $40.00 per week, if fuel goes down. far less.

Do yourself a favour, go the Polo GTi. I LOVE this car.

Did I mention insurance? I halved my insurance bill(almost).

An honest opinion for you.

BTW: Comparison of cars owned - 2001 Honda Civic Manual, 1994 Skyline R33 GTS25T M-Spec, 2003 Astra SRi Turbo, 2005 Club Spec 8 & 2006 Polo GTi.

Astra Turbo/Polo GTi(Only the '03-'04 Astra Turbo, the new one is too heavy) are the BEST of all.
