I first test drove a Polo GTI in Perth at Osbourne Park. They just took one out of the lot and went around the commercial area behind.
You won't be disappointed when you do drive it.

HI Guys,
I just wanted to introduce myself I have been reading this forum for a while. I am currently looking to buy a new (or near new at the right price) Polo GTI. I am in Perth, and there are none to test drive at the dealers currently! Their only suggestion is to order one with it subject to a test drive!
Also looking at 1-2 year old astra turbos as well but swaying towards the polo. Just a hard car to come by in Perth!

G'day and welcome.
There are a few Polo GTI drivers in Perth on here, maybe if you asked one really nicely

That's a bit of a bugger.
I test drove one less than 2 weeks ago at John Hughes. They had one red one on the showroom floor. They also had one red one in the holding yard in welshpool, which I am taking delivery of tomorrow
Maybe the one in the showroom has sold as well? Whatever you do, don;t go and try to take mine for a drive before I pick it up tomorrow.

Haha dont worry I wont be taking your future car for a flogging. Yeah I did call John Hughes and they said they had all been sold. I live right next to the osborne park dealership so I went their first and there was a red one in the showroom but he wouldn't let me drive it as it had just been sold. At least they are not letting out new customer cars for test drives I guess! Nice car, and definitely more roomy than I was expecting just wanna see what it drives like now!
The astra is german but built in Belgium. Its a nice car but more expensive, and the rear vision in the coup is crap for one!

Someone in perth take him out in a chipped Pogo, that will cancel out any though of an astra
Formerly [-Polo GTI-]
i did the same thing there mate and was almost set on a late '06 astra turbo (new shape) but spoke to my old mechanic and he said that holden have had several being returned with problem after problem after problem of all types (his cousin or brother is one of the mechanics and surfers city holden). once i jumped in a new polo i knew it was what i was looking for. then i test drove the car i have now (it was already chipped when i test drove it) and whilst still on the test drive i told the dealer i will take it with a look similar to this.
seriously, contact a perth owner of a chipped Polo and you will not even think about another car again.
Cheers,
Rhys
