What have you done with your Polo so far (and today)

[sVWatt]

...but rather who is happy with their cars ...

GTi is nice...no doubts, but the main thing is being happy with your purchase for sure

I recon any VW makes us special, not mainstream, the thinking persons alternative (and there are plenty brands to choose from).

Whether its Bentley, Skoda, Volkswagen, Audi ... It's a family thing

I walked into the dealership with the initial intensions to buy a 66TDI if I couldn't get a GTI, so don't worry, I'm not going to put people down in a serious manner because I am lucky enough to get a GTI, I will do it in jest from time to time, for sure.

But after a cruise where I was keeping up with stock polo and golf GTIs through the corners in a 1.6 Mk4, I won't judge because it doesn't always come down to power, torque and expense $3k worth of suspension mods though, they helped

Yeah ive been suprised quite a few times, like my little polo kept up with a mate from works mk4 R32 (i believe he's on the forum here somewhere), which suprised me. I respect anyones car that they take pride in no matter what it is.

In other news, have ordered PIAA Plasma Ion Yellow bulbs for the Fogs and a pair of Osram Nightbreaker Plus H7's for the Low beams. Had them on the camry and they were awsome.

lol it's all good (and i hope i didnt sound presumptuous, frostee). it'll be awesome to go on the cruise and get to see some new faces.

and yes. i have no handling mods. i need handling mods...... i know KW is the tried & true norm on here, but im thinking adjustable konis + fixed height springs, somewhere down the line...

that's why i love the new tsi. a tiny 1.2L engine which comfortably kept up with my mate's stage 2 polo gti in the twisties (according to him, and even though the tsi had no mods at all)... yes, the gti will always be faster, and call me strange but even though it might do things only 70% as well as a gti, the fact that it's sooooooo close to only 1L capacity just tickles my fancy (not trying to dismiss the fact that the gti is a pretty friggin awesome bit of kit, especially for the money... i just like tiny tiny engines).

Ditto... I love the responsiveness of the little un, and have recently been enjoying the drive to work even more. The DSG in S mode is pure fun. Makes me smile just thinking about it. I work up on a mountain and the road is twisty, which in my old SAAB meant wallowing around corners and searching for gears. Not so TSi - it has terrific cornering grip, and an engine that just responds as if it were twice as big.
Oh oh I can feel another grin coming on

Well the Polo is my first manual car, and im in love with the gearbox, it was very forgiving at first, but its alot of fun now, matched really well to the 1.2.. Even with the odd Axle Tramp... >>

Ordering the Rear Sway from Whiteline next week hopefully.
