Except The bass ackwards camber in the corners gets you every time...

You blokes sing out if you're in the state with your GTIs =)

Mate, would have loved to take the GTI over for most of the twisty roads but aside from the stupid cost of putting the car on the big red boat, the quality of the major roads and highways is deplorable on the straighter drives!

SHould organise a cruise for mainlanders to head over on the boat and meet up with some local, i found some AWESOME roads over there, some which are meant to be main roads (like the road from port elizabeth to cradle mountain!) others, like the road from richmond up to the highway had an awesome twisty section in it

id be very keen to do something like this, mayhaps stop in melbourne and get a chip done then head out... >>

Not very many twisty bits up in Brisbane (well, where you can really open it up) so i havent really gotten a chance to give the H&R springs a work out..

Head out to Mt Mee or Mt Glorious, I've had a lot of fun out there recently. Makes me wish I had better brakes though, might have to upgrade the pads and see how much difference that makes.

Apart from that this Polo is an absolute pleasure to drive, great acceleration, & with ridiculous fuel economy (just as good at 160kph as 110kph)
This Polo looks damn hot in fire red, esp with the sport pack

+ 1 to this. I would've never gotten it without the sports pack.

I'm glad i waited until this year to get a new car (previously i was considering the honda city) that i can be proud to own.

+1 for me too, I love it.

Also for the Brisbanites, Mt Mee and Mt Samson is a great drive!!!

I can tell you whats not fun to drive...

I would love to get out and go for a drive with other polo drivers some day too! Imagine a fleet of Flash Red Polos with Sports Pack cruising the streets! WooHoo!

Lol, there's certainly enough flash red/sports pack 77TSI's around (including mine) to make up a fleet! We'll need a nickname for them soon, like the Storm Troopers (white Golf R's with black wheels I'm told).

Just ordered the DNA Stage 1 tune, sooo looking forward to the extra grunt...

How bout the Imperial Guard?!
I think they are the fellas in Red that go around with the Emperor! (That is if we are aiming to keep the Star Wars theme going!)

I'd be really curious to see and feel what the DNA tune feels like. Perhaps a Polo drive here in brisbane sometime is in order?
