I love everything about the little car, its perfect!
the one thing that stands out to me is the turbo whistle, being a red p-plater I can't get enough of it

How did you get a Polo in the US? Private import?
Well done - there are people on TDIClub who would love that car.

Just back from a 900 km lap of Sth West WA. I learnt 4 things about the GTI
1. The Kumhos are far better than they have any right to be
2. Bilsteins and dexterity with a touch screen don't go together
3. 70 kmh on Caves Rd is only half right
4. The GTI is an awesome touring vehicle for one (the driver)

Glad you're enjoying it.
Have a think about the short shifter and bushings, a nice shift makes the countryside that much more enjoyable.
