Hi Guys,

Here is the information you've been waiting for. Plus a little surprise here, because I didn't know they were going to bring the 3 door!

Enjoy!

Pricing is RRP only and does not include the extensive list of items which make up the "On Road" or "Drive Away" costs (dealer delivery, stamp duty, registration, Compulsory Third Party-insurance, Number Plates, etc). These items will vary based on dealer, state, your residence post code, your age & driving history, and the options you select.

Thanks to Lima and his site AUSmotive.com for the specs and press release PDFs.

I'll update this post when there is more information available.

Thanks! So it's pretty much starting at around $30k on road before options...

Interesting to see how people react.

[Ralfi]

That's cheaper than what I expected. My biggest concern is no manual. Very curious to see how the DSG goes.

[Corey_R]

Put it this way, it's only $800 more than the previous model, yet it includes the DSG as standard, which is normally a $2500 option....

I'm personally very (pleasantly) surprised at this price. I think others are too.
Initial reviews (such as Carsales) compared the new Polo GTI to the Mini Cooper S and said as such, the pricing could be as high as $39,900 plus onroads. The fact that it's come in at $27,790 is awesome!

Corey did u buy ur previous polo new and if so what was the breakdown in costs and options and any discounts when u bought it
And wat do u get exactly in the comfort package?

[Ralfi]

The Comfort Package for the new Polo;
Rain sensing wipers
Automatically dimming rear-view mirror
Automatic climate control air conditioning

No mention of a cup holder in the GTI Spec/Flyer PDFs...surely they haven't overlooked it....Spotted them - 2 just in front of the gear shifter.

The previous Polo GTI was $26,990 (3 door and manual only). It only had three options:
Metallic Paint $500
Sunroof $1500
Leather $2500
There is no point talking about onroads because registration, ctp and stamp duty is different for each state (and even each person depending on state), number plate costs vary depending on what the customer picks and which state they're in, and dealer delivery varies on which dealer you go. So the above 4 prices are all that's important.

So a sunroof is no longer an option with the new one?

[Corey_R]

No, there is some production holdup or something for the sunroof. It's not available on any Polo yet that I'm aware of.

[OilBurna]

very nice might have to see if I can get the missus into a five door!! I'm being a lazy bum what is in the comfort pack?

[Corey_R]

I'm being a lazy bum what is in the comfort pack?

Yes, very lazy - since the answer is only 4 posts above yours

[OilBurna]

my apologies

Comfort package
Rain sensing wipers
Automatically dimming rear-view mirror
Automatic climate control air conditioning

[payno]

Just received an email from my dealer (WA).

She quoted the sports pack as $1500 (What does this have that the comfort pack doesn't?)

Also interestingly enough said the sunroof was $1700 and didn't mention any issues with it.

Also mentioned an April/May delivery time.

[Corey_R]

payno, the information you have been provided is for the regular Polo and not the GTI. Please see the information in the first post of this thread.

[Corey_R]

Thanks Dermot. I've added the sunroof to the first post. I assume the Volkswagen site are just holding off updating the information on the Sunroof option until they update for the GTI as the sunroof is still not mentioned on their options page.
