Polo GTI Pricing and Specifications Thread

[William_Foster]

This is what a dealership told me Saturday.
No factory fitted option available, only dealer fitted.
4 options depending on sound system.

With standard RCD 310- very basic Bluetooth $600
- Fiscon Bluetooth $890 (not sure of features)

With upgrade RCD510 - again the basic Bluetooth
- Premium bluetooth $990 (wirelessly integrates with the MFD via audio system which then allows you to
make calls, answer calls etc and loads your phone book into the MFD to allow you to look up contacts also via this system.

There is also a 4th option which they suggest more for commercial vehicles that has a touch pad screen which sits above the air vents for example, not sure of price.
Cheers

Thanks for the info; you wouldn't happen to know the product id for the premium bluetooth would you? I have ordered the upgraded RCD510 but was told that only a basic version was available. I would definately be interested in the premium one if it allows me to make calls.

I was recommended to get a Kufatec bluetooth kit ? $895 fitted.

No sorry, but any dealership should be able to supply that for you.
I do recall him saying that with the upgrade (RCD 510) I wouldn't be able to use
the Fiscon bluetooth @ $890, but could still use the basic one or the premium kit.

I'm pi$$ed off. I placed my order three days after they arrived at the dealer in December and they're saying it will be 6 months ! (5 door, white)

Be thankful it is only 6 months.....

I ordered mine on 27/11/10 and cannot be supplied a delivery date because Volkswagen Group Australia are as useless as breasts on a bull.

All I get told is that my car will be here sometime between the end of August and the end of December....

I mean it is only a 9 - 13 month wait for a Volkswagen.... Aston Martin are quicker and they are hand built

If you want one sooner just call more dealers, there are cars out there. You need to be flexible on the options you want though.

What's the price on-road in WA?

Thanks Dermot.

Given it some thought and although I wanted the Red one the Black one I have coming soon will suffice. If it was delayed at all I would have been keen to get your red one instead. Its not delayed as I have just tracked the vessel it is on with the VIN. Interesting that the GTI is coming from Germany via Durban, South Africa! Cheers

The standard A/C goes full manual in the 2011.5 changes

2 days ago ordered a polo gti WITHOUT the Comfort Pack (est del end April), as I was told climate control is standard and the comfort pack simply upgrades it to DUAL (separate passanger controls). However if the standard is going to be downgraded I'll need to change my order.

To anyone who's got one or otherwise know
- what is the standard a/c now?
- what is the difference and when will the (downgrade?) to "full manual" occure?...does 11dot5 mean May or is it already here.

My ignorant dealer doesn't know.

Also I've just found out this morning from this forum that "Panoramic Electric Glass Sunroof" is an option. Anyone got a link to a photo? Is "Panoramic" just a marketing term or is it an extra large sunroof? My ignorant dealer didn't know it was an option. Not impressed.

Car comes without climate controlled air-con as standard(semi -automatic in this case). You should get an option of comfort pack which includes following:
-Automatic Climate Control Aircon
-Automatic Dimming Rear-view Mirror
-Rain sensing wipers"

Panoramic sunroof is a large sunroof, with sliding option.

Oh dear, I see VGA haven't changed their ways. I was going to see if my sis-in-law would consider upgrading from her '08 GTI, but I don't think she's going to be impressed with the loooooong wait...
