What would your next car be after the Polo GTI?

oh and zaust! with blurt!

That revving with that exhaust (in race mode or whatever it's called) sounds absolutely terrible! Sounds like the engine is falling apart...

The DSG fart on the other hand - hell yes, couldn't approve more!!! Sounds epic, nice and loud - just the way I like it.

Nothing says new tech like a DSG fart

That initial rev is actually RS mode when engaging launch control.

That's good I guess. At least you won't have to hear it when you normally rev it. It's the only downside of the exhaust - once he takes off it sounds great! Lots of tone and of course the DSG fart :p

I have but no offense to anyone in the trade but the Fiesta ST looks like a Hairdressers car.

Haha funny you mention that - the Ford Fiesta was just awarded "women's car of the year".

I didn't believe such a award existed until I read up about it. It makes sense though, the new facelift of the fiesta is very feminine.

Dun dun da the suspense is building!


*Update*

Renault Clio RS Sport onr - $33k

Renault Clio RS Cup Chassis onr - $35/36k

But as standard on the cup:

-Leather heated seats
- RS Monitor 2.0
- Black 18' wheels
- Climate control
- 15mm ride drop
- Stiffer suspension
- Stiffer steering arm
- RS sound system

I'd go a cup as the wheels, leather, and RS monitor would be around the 4k mark.

Or rather, given the list price for a Polo R WRC is EUR 33 900 (or AUD 49 000) in Germany, no sane person would spend that much on a Polo, especially considering a Mk7 Golf GTI (also with 2.0 litre engine, 3 doors and a manual gearbox) has a list price of EUR 28 675 (AUD 42 000).

There must be lots of insane persons i Germany, all the cars made for the german buyers are sold since a couple of weeks. Here in Sweden we got a total of 90 cars, and the price is great, EUR 26400. I feel very sane!

Driving home after Polofest, as is befitting a Polo, it started whinging for more oil. So, I filled her up, drove straight to VW at Sutherland, and test drove a used Passat CC MY12.5 that had 30,000km done. Was very nice, maybe a bit too refined for my tastes, but it's kick-started the real search for my new car. Once the Octavia comes out, I'll be test driving that baby ASAP. Hoping to offload the Polo by year's end/early 2014.

I know I've only had my Polo GTi for a few months but I still have a soft spot for the 86/BRZ. The dealership I work at has Subaru and walking past a blue BRZ everyday on my way to and from work makes me think did I make the right choice! Then I see the interior and know I did...
