First VW

[Melon Head]

Just purchased a new Polo GTI, so I thought I should join up here.
This is my very first VW.
It should arrive around February 2013

Nice work, and you're in Melbourne!

All the cool dubbers head over to Dub Addiction on Princes HWY on Friday nights if you're up for it.

Congratulations on the buy.

What is dub addiction?

I am thinking of doing some advanced driver training to see what this thing can really do.

It's a store owned by a Forum member and a VAG enthusiast, his name is Tim: Dub Ad·dic·tion [duhb uh-dik-shuhn]

It's also a place where we all congregate on Friday and sometimes Thursday nights.

OK Thanks

Hi Melon Head

[Melon Head]

I might get up to Sydney one day.
Is the Old Pacific Hwy still open (ie Hawkesbury River to Gosford Exit)?

[robbie]

Yes it is Melon Head.

This is my very first VW.

Welcome to the joys of VW ownership - you're not so much as getting a new car, as you are in discovering new thrills to be had. Pure driving pleasure awaits!

Interested to see what it can do

[Melon Head]

Just been notified my car has arrived in Australia. That's earlier than expected.
Hopefully pick it up before the end of the week. I'll post a few pictures, when I have it.

Picked up the Polo today. Very happy with the car so far.

Pros
Love the torque
Love the acceleration
Love the seats
Love the interior
Love all of the electronic features

Cons
Understeers a little bit
Not much feedback through the steering wheel at speed through bends on country roads, a little bit unnerving. Makes it hard to judge what the car is going to do.
