The All New 2014 Polo- Share what you ended up paying...

[TheDSider]

I went with the Comfortline 81TSI in DSG with Driver Comfort pack, metallic paint and after market window tint (the three-window tint in the Sport pack did not appeal to me). I ended up paying $25,000 on road including a plate transfer of my existing custom plates, full tank of fuel, CTP, fees etc etc.

I'm sure I could have got the price down another grand or so but I knew what I was happy to pay so didn't feel the need to argue much. I called a few dealerships but because of the lengthy queue none of them seemed particularly keen to haggle on it - these things are selling themselves.

Luckily, because I only wanted the Comfort pack and the colour I opted for, there is supposed to be one arriving around Jan 5 with a delivery date towards the end of January so I'm happy. Fingers crossed it doesn't get pushed out.

Just got mine on Friday from South Yarra VW.

I wanted the sport package or comfort, but after being told there was only one black 81TSI without the options on the ship over, and that the next one would have to wait til the new year, I put the deposit on that one.
So, I'll be looking at lowering for a tighter ride (had an '08 Golf GTI before), roof racks for the bikes, tinting, and I'll try and retrofit fog lights.

On the fog lights, I did notice that the housing for the fog lights are already there, and the lamp just isn't in. So hopefully the wires are there and it may simple to retrofit. Although the light switch would need changing as it only pulls out once for the rear fog light.
I'll find out soon enough.

Looks awesome yiddo.

Here's my white 81TSI after removing the roof racks. I still think it still needs to be dropped a tad bit more. Might go for a set of H&R springs to lower it.

Looks tidy !!

I just installed some BC's on the weekend and stoked with the result, however much of a mission it was..!

When I retrofitted fog lamps to my 2013 77tsi, the wiring wasn't there so it had to be wired up, I also had to change the lower grill inserts, and of course fitted a new light switch. I dare say that would be the case on the new Polo, but you never know.

I assumed that to be the worst case, although the housing is there but without the globe. I'll take the cover off this afternoon and find out if the wiring is there. Also, where did you get your switch from and roughly how much?


The DRL is on the left and fog light location is on the right

Got the switch from the dealership, $181.65. My lights are only setup as fogs, not with DRL.

Well, no globe and a blank insert. Looks like it needs wiring, interior switch and a holder for the globe. Although I'm not entirely sure how the static cornering function would work and if something else need to be done.




So basically, if you couldn't wait for a Sport Pack optioned 81 TSI (like me). The fog lights aren't a simple plug away from upgrading. The tinting and suspension will def be easier.

I've seen some switches online as aftermarket replacements for a decent price if you were interested in that and not genuine.

I got my 66Tsi DSG for $17,300, though having a mate that is the fleet manager certainly helped.
I pick it up end of Jan.

anyone driving the 81tsi, have you jumped out of the 77tsi to the 81, how do you like the change?
