Polo GTI Pricing and Specifications Thread

[vvt172]

I saw a new Polo GTI today with no steering wheel controls. Seemed a bit unusual. Has anyone else noticed this on a demo vehicle?

I think that the dealers will do a small corporate discount if you push then hard enough. It will be 2011 soon and if they don't sell now, they will probably have to do some deep discounting in January!

The one I drove has stereo controls on the steering wheel. Standard for Oz

I'm getting hyped up for this car pretty badly. Right now, I can see me in one in a years time.

I sat in one today, wow, what a car. Hoping to test drive one tomorrow.

There are two cars on carsales

Red GTI

White GTI

Oh the battery is located in the boot!

With colour-coded skirts, it makes even harder to pick which colour to go with. Black is still number 1 for me (yet to see one though), but the white is much better than the red with this model imo.

Thank you! These are the first photos I've seen of a white 5 door!

So happy with my colour choice now.. looks amazing.

Thanks for the 5 door pics... white does look nice.
Would like to see the silver.

Not sure why the dealers did not order them with the comfort pack.
For $500, I would say more people than not will want this.
It must be included in the base price but knew they could get an extra $500 out of people.

From what I understand, the dealers didn't have much of a say in what they got, they were just sent an allocation.

The brochure shows Bluetooth is an accessory.
On the pics, including carsales I can make out a phone icon on the steering wheel controls.
Can someone confirm if this is standard or an option on the GTi

Thanks

I tend to agree. The standard a/c has auto temp control anyway (like the old Polo GTI) and the satin/chrome finished knobs look more stylish than the digital readout of the climate control unit.

Perhaps I was generalizing too much.
I was thinking more resale value much less than $500 if the car was not equipped compared to one that was.

I should try get one first before thinking resale value

Anyone know how long it usually takes insurance websites to pickup new vehicles on to their systems?
None of them seem to be able to quote the GTI yet.
