So I guess this means there's already been a large production run of 3DR black GTIs with sunroofs, probably at the back of the manufacture queue again now.

Not sure about that, but I can tell you my 3 door black was without concrete slab above head.

Had a quick spurt this morning!
Rego organised for tomorrow and then ready to roll!!

Nice black GTI. But what is that 'lip' at the front end of the sunroof? Or is it something in the background??

I think the idea is to reduce wind noise in the cabin or just turbulence in general.

I believe it is the wind deflector, majority of sunroofs have them. My honest opinion, the sunroof looks odd open but again, that's just my opinion looks cool closed tho

When I saw the car, it looked like the roof can slide back only a certain amount or it will hit the antenna.
Also visited a VW dealer in Stuttgart, he said approx 4 months wait on a newly ordered Polo Gti. They had two in stock that were nicely optioned also. Doh !!

Can it be lowered whilst the sunroof is opened? Looks weird with it up like that - i'm used to cars appearing higher at the back & angling down to the front with the sunroof open & not having something popped up like that looking like it's in the way....(silly I know)..

I highly doubt it, all the cars I've ever been in with sunroofs have that automatically pop up, otherwise it feels like you have a leaf blower stuck to your head....

Almost all sunroofs have some type of wind deflector which pops up at the front... this one needs to be larger because of the fact the sunroof is so large. The only way to avoid this but have the sunroof open would to be to use the "tilt" function of the sunroof (if it has one).

Positive review

I like the last line "...it is a car that is within the reach of most."

Shame they don't mention how long you'd have to wait if you ordered one!!
