That and the car starts with 95 premium as a base fuel to use, if you use 98 Premium it burns a lot slower (I tested this in cars that could run on unleaded petrol and gained a good 50-75km's extra per tank city/normal driving only) so i would believe the TSI is the better option by far. The TDI seems to be like a FAD that wives and possible people who think it will save a few whales would find attractive etc etc (I don't mean to generalise but i did

), sure its the next thing after crude oil and is cheaper to make, but if you just buy regular diesel (not the vortex version) it completely defeats the purpose of having one.

There is an exception such as the Audi R10 Le mans car which uses diesel but thats over a period of 24 hours which means higher torque and more average kilometres per litre.

The way we drove it tonight, it's going to be getting 200km/s to a tank LOL. Great little car, the missus is wrapt.

I have the Audio package included - would you say a 3 month additional delay within the bounds of reasonable? My wait is now 6 months from making my deposit.

No it's not reasonable. But VW Australia was most likely unaware that this situation wouild arise. They should have contacted you and asked if a car without the audio package would be satisfactory for a reduced wait time.

A 6 month wait for what is just a small hatchback is insane. I personally would have either changed my order or bought something else.

I agree its no where near good enough. The polo is the third vw i have ordered and all have been spec'd up and all took no longer than 3.5 months. I ordered the polo with sports comfort and audio late june and dealer tells me it should be here first week of October. The a week for other fittings like blutooth and tint.

Sorry to bump an old thread;
77TSI Pepper grey manual, Sports & Audio pack with full tinting.

$25 690 drive away... what do you guys think, was that an OK price to pay?

**Azzamataz** · 03-11-2010, 09:58 PM

Not bad. I got the same spec but with comfort, mats, blutooth, for about 1200 less. The sales guy really looked after me i think as i ordered a tiguan fully specced and a golf all in the last 12 months

I cant wait for the polo.
