    Hi all

    Hi all,

    I just signed off an order for a new Polo GTi and thought I should join this forum to see what it's all about.

    It's not my first watercooled VW powered car, but it is my first with a VW badge (my other was a 1981 Porsche 924 turbo that I dearly miss).

    Anyway I was looking into getting a more modern car for my 600 km a week commute. I currently drive a 1990 Mazda MX5 that has been upgraded a bit from stock.

    I shortlisted three candidates for the MX-5 replacement, the Focus Sports Hatch, the Toyota 86 and the Polo GTi. The Focus Sports was too soft for my liking, the 86 was awesome, but didn't quite do it for me. The Polo was awesome too and did do it for me.

    It's going to be my first hot hatch and i'm looking forward to getting it (eventually).

    So hi all.

        Thansk both,

        Got confirmation (finally) of delivery date, 3 weeks away. The model number has a 13 in it so hoping it's an MY13 as i'm loving the Detroit wheels.

        The lease company i'm with couldn't have picked a less convenient dealer. I live on the Central Coast and work in the CBD of Sydney, both of which they know. The car is to be picked up from Hamilton near Newcastle?!! Only a 2 and a bit hour train ride from the office.
