Goodbye Polo :( - Abarth 500 ss

[danntsi77]

I must say im upset to see my Polo go, i grew bored of it.
What i hated most about it was the rattle and went to the dealer 5 times and they still hadnt fixed it. plus concerns that the DSG would **** itself sometime soon.

I choose the abarth as its something different, plus a proper manual gearbox!!!!! I do like quick shifting with DSG but nothing makes you feel more connected with the car than a good old fashioned manual box and clutch.

am still up for cruises if anyone wants to invite me along, would love to compare to a 6N gti and 6R gti.

Congrats on the new car - the Abarths are a little ripper. Hope you enjoy it more than the Polo.

cheers, thanks.
the abarth is everything i wanted, small, properly quick, sounds nice, character.

Great choice. I wanted one when I first heard of it, but then it took them three years to bring it to the country and the new Polo GTI came out...

Still, it's a cool car and it makes me happy to know there's another interesting, exciting car out there on the road

Good choice, pure Italian racing tradition...

Changing from a German car to an Italian one for the prospect of greater reliability - how times change!!

BTW I love the 500

would love to compare to a 6N gti and 6R gti.

I gather you mean the 9N3 rather than 6N

BTW my 9N3 has outpaced a 500 at 2 track days at Sandown this year (only about a second in it each time, though).
