2015 polo gti

[Mi16 Man]

Geez! What a revelation this new Polo is. Back in 2010, I had a deposit down on a white 5dr 6R, but was gladly upsold into a manual Mk6 GTI. I've priced up a manual Octavia vRS Wagon but haven't put a deposit down yet.

Now that there is a manual 6R for under $30k, I'm off to the local Canberra VW for a drive. Am thinking metallic blue and Driver Assist. That will do nicely!

Ok , thanks for the info about servicing. Just feels weird not having to change oil after first 1000km, old habits die hard

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 .

Things change

Or 1 year? Yes?

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

I do 25K pa as well, 90% on the freeway so the engine just lops along and fuel consumption is currently very low on my Jetta TDi. Uses no oil at all. I would expect the Polo Gti to be just as good but with more hoon factor

Most of my driving is motorway. I have the same engine as the Polo but the very early BZB build which is the "fuel guzzler" version. A genuine 100kph is about 2300rpm in 6th and it averages 6.6L/100kph. I have no idea if the gearing in my car is the same as the polo (I doubt it).

If you buy a 1.8tsi M6 Polo I'd recomend you ignore 5th & 6th gear for the first 2000 - 3000km if you want it nicely run-in.

hi guys

I am getting quote for both 2015 polo gti and golf gti(on special atm). Both are around 10k apart including the packages that I wanted.

Do you guys reckon it worth to spend the 10k and get the golf gti?

[brad]

Depend on what you need in a car but I'd prefer the Golf as an all-rounder

I like the look/idea of the Polo GTI much better. Much cuter and lighter, better fuel economy? A bit easier to squeeze in tight places. Newest model/facelift. Only thing I don't like is no independednt suspension on the back.

Have you driven both, which one did you like better?

This is all that matters

Polo is too small.

Polo is too small.

I have a mate with a Polo. He fitted a complete flat-pack kitchen inside it.

Sure it's too small if your kids are 2m tall and you do lots of trips with them but if it's just yourself & your significant other it might fit the bill.
