    I picked mine up this afternoon and took it for a quick drive through semi rural Samford/Dayboro area.

    It is so much better than my previous drive, that they hardly compare. But I am going to have to read the manual, after driving a car with no features (just quirks) there is so much to take in!!!

    After almost 2 weeks .....

    And I'm loving my Polo GTi. My observations so far are:
    1. Paddles are the best. Drive mode can be a little bit lazy and lacks urgency. Sports is more aggressive than me.
    2. Full throttle from a stand still can give you wheel spin which is a little embarrassing.
    3. I keep wanting to drive it.
    4. My engine bay rattle is getting worse.
    5. Every other cars wants to put you to the challenge. And the new 3.0d X3 can cane the GTi.
    6. Highway to Gong is full of cops and there was even an unmarked 4X4!(?).
    7. I keep wanting to drive it.
    8. Speedo is approx 10% overstated.
    9. The car runs on petrol fumes!
    10. I keep wanting to drive it.

    Thank you. I'm not getting too excited yet. I reckon it will hit me on the taxi ride on the way to the dealership tomorrow.
    The only problem is the appalling weather - rain is forecast every day for the next week so no matter what day I chose to pick her up, she will get rained on and filthy very quickly And there was no way I was going to wait until we had nice weather.

    I'll have to take photos of her at the dealership because I reckon that's the cleanest she'll be in a long while.

    Yep, I was thinking about the Melb. weather when I posted to you, but in hindsight I think it will shadow your excitement You can test out the wipers and tyre grip, maybe just not the sunroof yet LOL. Looking forward to some pics
