Polo GTI on P-Plates

We had one
It was a 2001 AU Fairmont with the Tickford straight-six in dark red.
Just as well I was too young to remember it

I think i can safely speak for most members, moderators and Admin that it doesn't matter what car you have owned or currently own, whether you're a P plater or not so long as you're a positive member and contribute to the forums by whatever means and by attending some meets here and there...then you're always welcome...Falcon or not although a VW is preferable hahaha

Also a footnote...does it matter what car anyone has? TSI, GTI etc?

Most of our roads are now on average at 60km/h and average speeds during traffic is around 28km/h peak hour, too many nanny patrollers who throw their toys out of the pram when they see a beautiful glowing flash red GTI blurt right passed them....so in the end, doesn't matter if you own a TDI, TSI or GTI...so long as you're happy with what you buy/drive that's effectively what matters.

Haha if you think a polo ain't spirited going up hills, think again!

I have the smaller 1.2T motor and even when I went on the cruse with the other GTI's, I still managed to keep up doing 100km/h round the mountains. I would only loose them on the straight where their 136kw (compated to my 77kw) leaves me in their soot cloud. For acceration you need tourqe and all the polos have plenty of it, just need to make sure you are in the correct rpm band for the turbo to work hard. >2500rpm <4000rpm

I held my own as well in my manual TSI. I've only had my licence for about 7-8 years (yeah, I know, I was a very late starter!) and had never driven at those speeds before. I did manage to get left behind by Gav on a few occasions and I'm not sure how much was due to my inexperience or the car.

I will say though that I did leave a few GTIs in my wake! Not bad for a chick who handles a stick

I did it as I had 7 months left on my P's when I bought mine. I was stacking up the 77tsi, which is a great car, but I knew I wanted more power.

It is risky as what happens if someone ran up your ass or you stacked it? You're not covered.

IMO it isn't/wasn't worth the risk, so unless you wanna swap with someone who wants to drive yours and you drive their car, you'll be fine.

I debadged mine and covered the red stripes on grille, no unwanted attention from any party.

Weigh up the pros/cons. If you've got a few years yet, just wait off and buy the 77. If you've only got months, get the GTI, IMO of course.

A very long wait.....Kesh only has a learner's permit and is going for the test in June.

Ah wow I missed that! LOL 77 for sure! MORE than enough power, especially for a beginner! Even the 77tsi will be too powerful for you LOL

Really well said mate

I'll be sticking around here regardless of the make of my first car I've got a while before I get my first car, may even delay it to the end of the year because it will interfere with my studies no doubt. But I'll have several mind changes by then haha.

[kam]

would stay away from the RX-8's. very poor fuel economy, and getting old now

ive got a 1.2 tsi, and (if your a good driver) can push it very hard in the twisties

also, hot day, 4 passengers, a/c on, barely any power loss in the little polo tsi, its a great engine
