Polo gti is the best looking car out

My new polo 77tsi candy white sports pack, comfort pack and audio pack is coming in 4 weeks! Originally wanted a panoramic sunroof but the guy said I'd be waiting 6 months or more! My Peugeot is dying so waiting was not an option. If I got a sunroof put in after would it breach the warranty? Just a normal sunroof not the panoramic one.

Hi all,

First post here. (Long time listener first time caller!)

I'll be ordering a Polo GTI in the next few months.

I thought I'd share a nice story about another Polo purchase in my life though! My girlfriend was looking to replaced her ageing 2000 Barina, so I'd been helping her shop around for new small cars. Last weekend we visited mostly Holden dealers to look for a replacement Barina, mainly the Barina TK as she didn't like the Spark.

After spending an entire day looking at non European cars in order to keep me sane, I dragged her to the nearest VW dealership to test drive a Polo. (I had no intention of buying, as I have a current Hilux SR5 D4D through work) We test drove a white manual TDI.

She was so impressed with the quality of the build and the drive itself, that she started to consider buying a polo instead of a Barina. Both the dealer and I laughed when she raised it, given the incredible wait time for getting one. Un-deterred, we got on Carsales.com.au that night and looked for Polo's. A ex-demo had just been posted at a dealership across town, so the next day we went out for a test drive.

It was a Red 2010 Polo 3dr 1.4 N/A DSG with 5000k on the clock, selling for $20,790 here in Brisbane. She took it for a test drive, and once again, was so impressed bought it then and there on the spot, trading in the bombed out Barina for a drive away price of $18,200.

Whilst I wouldn't buy a 3 door, automatic or petrol- it was quite a snare given Polo's are so rare to come buy. She picks the car up tomorrow and is very excited by the prospect of joining the elite (small) club of Brisbane Polo drivers.

I, on the other hand- am incredibly jealous!

The Red polo was a 3 door? that isn't a TSI that's a comfortline 1.4ltr n/a. Still not a bad price congrats.

True, I've edited.

Murph, congrats.

Are you prepared to wait the 18 months I got quoted on the weekend to get into a Gti? I'm guessing they're now underpromising in order to over-deliver (usually the other way around) but it's still an insane wait for a 30k car. I'm in the same boat and would gladly buy one today if I could get a new one within 6 months but it looks like it'll be a while before that happens. I'm hopinh behind the scenes that between now and 1 January 2013, VW Australia get an increased allocation.

One interesting thing I've noticed is that the European reviews of the Polo Gti aren't near as glowing as our local reviews. I put that down to the fact that they've got more to choose from (Skoda Fabia, SEAT Cupra etc.), lower prices, and also the fact that the Australian Polo pricing was fairly reasonable (although VW still haven't really passed on the massive appreciation in the AUD vs. the EUR).

Congratulations to your girlfriend. Just curious though, you wouldn't buy an automatic or a petrol car but you're planning buying a Polo GTI?
