Should I buy the Polo 77tsi?

[Billecartz]

The Tiida is being discontinued, even Nissan admit to the car being a huge flop. It may be cheap but that's for a good reason, you cannot compare it with a Polo, as the Polo is in a different league.

Our Polo 77TSI has been terrific, economical, comfiortable, reasonably quick and has a lot of character.

It's a no brainer between the two, remember you get what you pay for.

One final thing: you never said if you wanted a manual or automatic. If you want an auto, the Polo is the obvious choice because the DSG is heaps better than the slushboxes in other small cars which are, well, mostly rubbish.

I'm looking at the manual I prefer manual over auto, with an auto you don't feel like your driving. The only downside in a manual is when your in heavy traffic get's annoying.

I believe paying the extra $5000 is very well worth it! get so much more for the money. Another question what are the servicing costs for a Volkswagen Polo? Has anyone had a Volkswagen serviced at Muller Muller in Lakemba NSW? I hear it's best to avoid dealers when it comes to servicing cars, as of "apprentices" that don't do the job properly and the high price.

Also how reliable are Volkswagen's I see alot having issues.

Another question though they say the new polo is made in South Africa I found a video on youtube showing the production line at Pamplona, Spain YouTube - 2010 Volkswagen Polo: production line at Pamplona, Spain (from may 2010).

Any thoughts?

Chief ... how long do you expect to wait for this fully specced 77TSI? May/June of 2011?

It's not fully spec'd (just comfort,sport pacakge), gonna test drive one soon and go from there. Gonna also try the golf 90tsi to see what that's like and compare them. I could end up just saving a bit more money for a golf 90tsi if there will be a big waiting time.

chief - dealers appear to have lots of 77TSI comfortlines with no options for basically immediate delivery, but may/june for anything with options.

Ok, but for the extra $2,000 of options it's well worth it

Yeah, I'm going for the c/a/s options. But, I did think seriously about just taking the option free car, but knew I'd regret it later.

The South African build quality is fine,I have had 2 Jettas built there,1 was brilliant,the other was very good.
