Polo 6R GTI - Good or Bad???

[THE_EGG]

I have also seen many DSG issues, but they are usually fixed with a new transmission (as long as the dealer agrees to fit a new transmission). Don't be concerned with the polo gti - but if I were you, (as Hail said) I would try and buy a Golf GTI. Or have a test drive of other hot hatches, like the Citroen DS3 etc.

such a shame.....

VWG losing customers who WANT TO BE LOYAL, all because of trying to define the bottom dollar.

wahey yall!!! we rednecks here in australia dawnt kno mutch! but if renault ever decide to bring the twingo 133 here, DONT expect people to wait for a polo gti for 18 months on a ghost boat....

bring the gt up! here.... god... i've quit two of the best of the world's universities TWICE, and im guessing precisely because of that, i cannot impress upon mr pimplescrotum (we've all been there) that perhaps bringing the up! gt might be a case worth establishing in australia.......

but at any rate, according to SHORT term post 2011 cars.... VW OUT, FIAT/RENAULT IN, apparently...

I have to state the obvious, that for every unhappy Polo owner there many happy one who don't go in the forums. In many cases people find the forum when they have a problem and google, then post the complaints.

I don't own Polo, but from all our 7 family owned VW's (1 is Skoda) none is using oil and we don't have any of the odd issues people report here, so I guess we have to be lucky, but also from 6 people driving VW's, I'm only one in the forum, the others don't bother.

So, to OP, remember there are lot of happy Polo owners too.

+1 for Karly's reply. My thoughts exactly

[kaanage]

Which of his/her comments?

This one?

BUT because of the issues with the oil etc.. as much as I love everything else about it, I cannot see me keeping it past warranty.

Ours has been fine, no oil consumption, no DSG problems, no dash rattles - maybe we got a dud? (VW have not been building cars for long you know, they have to learn somehow)

Very happy owner here as well, no issues whatsoever , replacing a hail damaged one with another one
