New Polo - I've got one!

[Allegiance]

The Sony XAV-70BT... Thanks again for your help in getting all the right bits to make it fit!

That will look pretty cool! You must post up pics once installed!

EDIT: I just relised, we will have the same car spec wise!

Will do Yeah you ordered yours a day or two after me from memory (I ordered 15 May)... Not sure I'll be delving into brake upgrades anytime soon though...

[FJ Steve]

so jealous....ordered 4 weeks after you.....still no build date advised.

Sports Pack

That sucks man know how hard it is to wait so long... Hope it's worth the wait - been so long since the test drive, I don't even remember what the car's like to drive

MDI/RCD510

Must still be shortages on the audio option!

We got away for the weekend, racking up about 500km's. The Polo has really surprised me, it's great in traffic, the freeway and even poor corrigated gravel roads! It might be one of, if not the most expensive model in its class, but it has the jap rivals beat on every front.

About the only way the 77TSI could be improved, is if VW released it in a 3 door

I have also heard that there is a shortage of 7SPD DSG units as well. Wife now wants to go and talk to Mazda...she's sick of waiting.

Try and hold off mate, the missus was also looking at a Mazda 2 when she first thought of a new car. Not even close. But happy wife, happy life so do what you gotta do lol

There is a flash red on car sales, no sports pack though.

Why don't you ask dealers what's available rather than speccing up a car that needs to be built. There are 18 Polo TSIs on carsales alone.

Remember that you can't really spec a Mazda 2 (and it has a ancient 4 speed auto).

*sigh*

I was offered a build spec which is as described above. Expectation from WA dealers was that the particular build spec would be here early November (in their words...."that is VERY conservative"). Was told that realistically/probably would be mid October. Which would mean that it would have been built by the end of August/Early September.....then shipped...customs...pre-delivery.

But, they can't even give me a build date/slot...so it's just a number on a computer database at the moment.

As for selecting another TSI...no thanks....must have the MDI and Sports Pack in Flash Red. Not interested in anything else.

Wouldn't be a Mazda2....waste of time. If I succumbed...it'd probably be a Mazda3...but then again, I would be trying my hardest to get a MKV/MKVI oiler before going Japanese again.

I understand the frustration mate, experiencing the same thing with my R as are many others.

Picking up my car on Friday, bringing the camera and hoping to tee up with my brother to do a Golf GTI MK6 with R rear lights and my new Polo

Dave love the photos, can i ask how much they charged for the front tints, getting mine done Tintacar in Formula 1 (Same shade as the Mk6 GTI and polo TSI tint)

And possibly booking her into ramspeed to have the centralised exhaust/diffuser unit installed.

Having matching front tint was added as part of the negotiations on both cars so don't really know. Also got the proper fitted Polo mats which are a nice touch.
