New member from Cape Town, South Africa

[Stevew82]

Hi guys

I'm a new member from South Africa with a brand new Polo 6r 5-dr 1.6i comfortline. I've been looking around VWW for a while now and it's really fantastic to read about people with similar vehicles and the same interests

As far as I know the 1.6 petrol version of the new polo is only available in certain markets - it's a naturally aspirated 1.6 petrol 16v motor (77kw). And it flies!

I previously owned a Polo Classic (4 door - the SA version was similar to the Polo 6n). Fantastic car - and now I'm onto my 3rd Volkswagen (and coming from a Toyota family - it hasn't been easy to sell the idea to the folks!)

I look forward to chatting to everyone.
Steve
