New Polo - I've got one!

**Karly101** · 12-09-2011, 08:59 AM

They have promised to post me the log book in about 3 weeks - will probably need to bug them about it as from previous experience with VW dealers they aren't to great on these types of things!

I thought the car was a dealer demo but apparently it was being driven by someone within VW Australia.

Welcome to the Forum Karly101

Congrats on your new beauty.....well done!
Very sorry to hear about the trolley damage, thankfully you have witnesses, hope it all works out in your favour.

I haven't seen the leatherette in the flesh yet, my own order includes this spec, so any feedback would be great.
Interesting dealer response regarding the log book considering it was driven in house?

Could be a coincidence, but may be the same dealership we ordered from as they did have a Polo GTI advertised with
same specs as yours which sold a few weeks ago?

Enjoy your ride

Hi Karly101
Congrats on your GTI. I have no doubt that you'll love it to bits.
Sorry to hear about the scratch....those damn Polo drivers can be so inconsiderate

Good news is my log books all arrived in the post today! The dealer I bought from was in Frankston - I was thinking of placing an order so went initially to check it out as it had leather and wanted to see what it was like ...I liked it so much and since the car had all the options I liked decided to purchase

But yeah I'm interested to see how the leather will do in the summer but atm it's good - comfortable, easy to keep clean, theated seats are nice on the cold days (ass burning hot on the high setting haha).

As for the complaints on rattles - I haven't had any as yet. I have managed to confuse the DSG (car kept flicking up and down gears then shuddered and almost stalled??) once though and that was a bit worrying! Mostly though it is very smooth and great fun on sport/tiptronic

I picked up mine this afternoon after a four month wait. She is so pretty and fun to drive!!

It is flash red, 77tsi dgs with the sports pack. I'm in love but the hill assist hesitation is annoying me a bit im sure I'll get use to it.

You know, the closer the arrival date for my new car is, the worse this waiting has become. Easy to say its 8, 12, 25 weeks away but now I'm down to days and those days are nearing single figures! Hurry up.

hey Gumpf, i've got and eta of 30 of September as well, though my dealer has advised that it may go into the first week of October. Hopefully it will be quicker turnaround times over there in Brissy.
