I fit 2 bicycles in the boot once. Seats folded down, wheels taken off. Awesome. Couldn't fit a single baby pram though (boot hatch opening too narrow)Originally Posted by brad

Boot space is my primary concern, coming from a Jetta with a cavernous boot. The Golf Gti has a bigger boot but still will need the seats folded down for my required space. Alternative is the Skoda Octavia RS which is cheaper than a Golf Gti. Both Golf and Skoda is unfortunately $10k more

Hmmm yeah you would want to think very carefully before getting the Polo then.

Picked up my White Manual with Lux and DA Pack last week. Haven't been able to stop smiling while driving. The manual box is an absolute beauty. I was driving a borrowed auto S-line A1 1.4 TFSI Sport for a little while prior to last week and the polo suspension actually feels very gentle & luxurious compared to that but still is firm where required if cornering at speed. will have to line the Audi and the Polo up against each other

Cool! Post some photos! What are the LED headlights like?
(The LED headlights is the only thing I like in the Lux pack- they didn't have a 6C GTI + Lux pack for me to see at the dealer. I'm wondering if the headlight is a sealed unit or if they're just using a LED H7 bulb in the normal headlight housing or projector housing. There are a bunch of LED H7 kits on eBay which might be good vs the Lux pack OEM LED headlight. Unlikely though.)

Is there a free 1000km service on new VW Polo for run-in oil change etc besides the capped priced servicing at 15,000km

My dealer said they(the dealer) provide a 1500km check over but mentioned nothing about an oil change.

No run-in oil change required or recommended by VW. Just leave it in for 15,000km. That's what I did on my 1.8tsi & it usesno oil, gets great power & great economy.

Or 1 year? Yes?

It probably also feels weird driving a 1.8 litre car that has more power and torque & uses 1/3 of the fuel of a 4.2L V8 VB Commodore .

That too. I do 25k pa so the time period never factors into my thinking.
