New Polo - I've got one!

[Sword_Dude]

I picked mine up this afternoon and took it for a quick drive through semi rural Samford/Dayboro area.

It is so much better than my previous drive, that they hardly compare. But I am going to have to read the manual, after driving a car with no features (just quirks) there is so much to take in!!!

Congratulations Sword_Dude.Perfect timing for a weekend of ‘Polo fun'

After almost 2 weeks .....

And I'm loving my Polo GTi. My observations so far are:
1. Paddles are the best. Drive mode can be a little bit lazy and lacks urgency. Sports is more aggressive than me.
2. Full throttle from a stand still can give you wheel spin which is a little embarrassing.
3. I keep wanting to drive it.
4. My engine bay rattle is getting worse.
5. Every other cars wants to put you to the challenge. And the new 3.0d X3 can cane the GTi.
6. Highway to Gong is full of cops and there was even an unmarked 4X4!(?).
7. I keep wanting to drive it.
8. Speedo is approx 10% overstated.
9. The car runs on petrol fumes!
10. I keep wanting to drive it.

Hope all goes well for your big day tomorrow Apples, no doubt it's gonna be a long night tonight, but I am sure the wait will be worth the prize

Thank you. I'm not getting too excited yet. I reckon it will hit me on the taxi ride on the way to the dealership tomorrow.
The only problem is the appalling weather - rain is forecast every day for the next week so no matter what day I chose to pick her up, she will get rained on and filthy very quickly And there was no way I was going to wait until we had nice weather.

I'll have to take photos of her at the dealership because I reckon that's the cleanest she'll be in a long while.

Yep, I was thinking about the Melb. weather when I posted to you, but in hindsight I think it will shadow your excitement You can test out the wipers and tyre grip, maybe just not the sunroof yet LOL. Looking forward to some pics

Thanks apples

Also my Polo had 17KM on the odometer so its pretty damm new eh

lol

Just so noone gets alarmed with the single right reverse light its standard

Interesting fact- reverse indicator

Just got my new 77TSI Flash red with sportpak.
Waited no time at all, walked into dealer, who had just got 1 in on spec.
Bought it then & there
Replaced my XC Barina, which was one of the best cars I have ever driven, but this Polo leaved it for dead
The engine bay is a work of art too

Okay, so I picked my Polo up yesterday and I'm absolutely thrilled to bits.

The drive home was exciting and nerve wracking at the same time.....on my drive home yesterday I know I stuffed up a few gear changes and I can't wait til I've got that down pat and have a beautiful smooth ride.

My previous car didn't have remote window opening/closing so I must admit a stood there for about a minute just opening and closing the windows and sunroof using the remote.

I can't wait for the weekend when I can take her out for a decent drive.

The 3 month wait was definitely worth it

Great to hear Apples Actually checked a few times last night to see if you had posted an update (gal thing) hehe. Was your last car a manual as well? Reckon it won't take long to get your gear changes down pat.Love to know what your thoughts are on the sunroof, still to see one in the flesh but at least there have been some good pics on the forum, only thing I am a little unsure of is the visual appeal of the wind break deflector that pops up when sunroof is open? I understand it's there for a reason, just thought it “looked" a little strange? Always difficult when placing an order without being able to see one in the flesh first, will be nice to have a sunroof again this time though. 3 mths wait huh, that's pretty good.....funny how the weeks normally fly by for me, except for the Polo order, can't believe it's only been just over 4 weeks since order was placed......actually “feels like a couple of months at least" Hope there are gonna be some Forum members left who still have a long wait, gonna be a lonely time on here otherwise Pleased to hear all went well for you yesterday, thanks for the update and enjoy your new gem, ahh, lovely Melbourne day (not), no open sunroof today!
