New Polo - I've got one!

One word.

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Can't believe it cost less to put in a whole tank of BP Ultimate than a full tank of regular in the old golf! And the tank being 10litres smaller has nothing to do with it!!! So I keep telling myself

And that is all you have to say after waiting months to post in here?!?

Gav...Gav...Gav...your report was, how can I put it, short and pointless... where's the enthusiasm and least say it's one of those things that make you go Mmmmmmmmm

U guys know what it's like as soon as that oil is up to temp, the flex of the right foot, that first tug-to-the left on the steering wheel, magnificent. 180kph, 7 gears literally at my fingertips, windows open and the glorious turbo whistle ringing off the hills as I accelerate, change down, brake, accelerate again and again. Left, right, right, change down and brake hard, waaaay more corner entry speed than I'm used to, the car squirming on it's brand new tyres, the smell of engine, gearbox, drivetrain becoming one only briefly savoured for a millisecond before 3rd, 4th, 5th all disappear in quick succession. The sun glistening through the trees, beautiful orange, golden hour has never been better. The look of disdain of the mk5 Gti owner as they are dispatched in the glare of 2 illuminated, red, facing "L's", like bookends.
Brake hard now, indicate right, come to a stop, fun is over for now, but not for long. Car is filthy but seemingly smiling at me, like a whippet after an afternoon run, panting but smiling at it's owner.

Welcome, Polo GTI.

Hi. First a big thanks to all the informative posts on this site. I have been reading for 3 months now but it was only after I picked up my CW Polo GTi from Wagga (after a relatively short 3 months wait) that I felt that I needed to post. What a car!! I have it now for 48 hours and can't find enough excuses to drive it. The drive from Wagga back to Sydney was a treat as I prescribe to a balance of the 2 schools of thought - give it some but mix it up. Pulled up at the BP after 550+ kms and only had 28 litres to top up!! Happy days!
