Not sure but Rob managed to destroy his pretty quick

They are totally different to the mk4 ones. Very plasticy too. The mk 4 ones are very good, I miss it in the mk5. Cup holders in the mk5s are best between the legs!!! Not a rude comment either!!

Hi everyone,

I would just like to say hello and mention I too am a proud new owner of a black 06 Polo GTI!

I picked it up last friday and I'm always looking for excuses to take it for a cruise. My previous car was a 1998 200SX and although the little GTI is not as quick as the 200SX it makes up for it in other aspects. Very happy with it!!!!

Glad to have finally found a forum with fellow Polo GTi owners.

Anyone from Sydney perhaps?

Welcome SidGTI hope your happy with the little beats any thoughts about an APR Flash at ll might make you think twice twice about the 200sx comment . This is good to see so many polos out there now must be selling well in Aus. Any questions about anything please ask cheers Rob.

Thanks Rob!

Yes I saw the results with APR. I'm amazed at how much more extra power the GTI can gain with just a simple reflash of the ECU! Does it affect the factory warranty in anyway? Has anyone here had their ECU reflashed?

I think the GTI is a great buy! Not very many small cars out there can compete with it in the price bracket that its in.

Yeah they are a sweet buy i have the APR 98ron map and so does GTIGRL best person to talk to is Andrew (gtimk5) as he is the tassie APR dealer or Guy Harding the main man of APR in Aus, for all the warrenty type questions. I got my polo in Dec last year and have had it APR tuned for must be 4 months or so i am just about up to 15 000k and the engine gets better with every k. Bang for buck cant go past the ecu upgrade love it. I am also in the next week or 2 getting some coilovers so will post pics and tell you guys what i think about them will be putting Audi S3 brakes on at the same time, the brakes lack a little bunch, also doing a few little visual things to mine, will post pics wed i think to show ppl. cheers Rob

The saving has begun.....
