What do you love about your Polo?

[break]

See, I owned a MY05 WRX WRP10 (#54 of the 200 they made), and it just absolutely kills the Polo as a pure sports car.

But by the same token, it would rattle my teeth out in traffic with its ridiculously hard suspension, the exhaust gave you a headache at low rpm due to volume, and the car felt about as refined as a sledgehammer.

Now I'm stuck in traffic everyday in my car I *much* prefer the Polo for my needs, which is a comfortable small car that is fun on the weekends.

But if I once again didn't need to drive to work I'd be looking to head back to Subaru in a MY06-MY07 STi

Agree 100%, would probably go the 05 STi (not that I can afford it), except I refuse to pay the insurance premiums for such vehicles which is why the polo got the nod over the jap rockets. Comfortable run about car and reasonably refined, yet can put a grin on the face when desired.

You'd be surprised on how cheap the premiums are.

I paid under $1k a year full comprehensive with JustCar at 22yo with my WRX, now I'm 25 and I'm paying $425 a year full comp on the Polo.

I'd expect a MY06-07 STi around the $1k mark for me.

[Hilal]

Wow! How the hell did you manage that!

I was quoted $2,600 with JustCar at the age of 22 years old for a WRX, had to adjust the premium to get it down to the $2,000 mark, its way too much for insurance, another big factor that played a part when deciding to move to the Polo GTi.

Yes, but you do live in the city with the highest rate of auto theft in Australia.

Living in Qld has many perks

[Hilal]

Ah yes, true.

Which insurance company did you go with?

Which insurance company did you go with?

JustCar.

I've used them for nearly 5 years now, always been the cheapest for sports cars.

break,

What's your excess with that premium?

I'm loving how when I notice another black GTI on the road that it looks better every time I see it.

Does anyone know if you can close the windows with the remote like the MK5, when you lock the car


Maybe you can program it somehow
