You sure they are made in South Africa?
According to this thread posted by Sharkie, my car was built in Pamplona, Spain.

No I am not sure...I have never owned a Polo GTI.
So yes, quite possible they are made in Spain also!

Nope they are assembled in Spain. Also, a good chunk of the parts are made in Germany.

Early Polo GTIs were all made in Spain. (like mine as well) later models ... late 2006 onwards are all made in South Africa.
You want a nifty feature ..... any BMW's wipers slow to slowest intermittent automatically when stationary and speed up to to the setting you had it on when it moves off again. I miss that ....
Also on a BMW. When you select reverse left mirror changes down so you can see the road next to the car ... and airconditioning automatically cuts out for the 1st 10 seconds when you move off from standstill to give you max responsive power...... gotta love some of those German features .....

Johan, mine is a late 07 build and it's built in Spain.
BMW had that wiper function ages ago, but that reverse mirror thing must be new. It's not hard to guess how much you love those BMWs.

I think some Golfs do this, but only if you have electric seats with memory or somesuch to get the controller that makes it happen....
I believe it helps you to avoid kerbing your alloys when parallel parking.
