What would your next car be after the Polo GTI?

The article says and I quote "Starting from $36,990 PLUS ON-ROADS"...so it'll be 40k drive away...

Yeah...read it properly..."or the special launch price of $36,990 driveaway until the end of April"

And I apologise for missing that, however will shoot back with Renault Sydney said you could get the 265 Cup for an extra $2,900...which has loads more equipment standard.

My opinion is, it's still a rip off as the new face lift megane will be arriving soon, they should be fire selling these at around $34,990...

It does? The special edition gets the recaros... the base cup at 40K on road does not.
You miss out on climate control, LSD and the monitor thingy.

Perfect!

Did you (or anyone for that matter) catch the review on Top Gear last night? Wondering if the "performance pack" they mentioned is optional here...

It'll be a separate 'model' with 19inch wheels and alcantara seats.

Really excited for the Octavia RS now that the Aus specs and options are out, can't wait to order it.

Thanks

LSD and bigger brakes too from memory

Was reading a North American newspaper this morning. Made me sad to see ads for BMWs at 2/3rds of the price we Aussies have to pay. Drive away prices. 4wd included.

I sold my Golf GTI for a Range Rover. Old man in me said it was more sensible to have a diesel SUV as oppose to a fast hatchback.

2/3?...more like 1/3 to 1/2 esp at the upper end

Quote from a recent US article, "The GT3, which costs more than $130,000..."

Base GT3 here is $300k plus on roads!

Nice one Lemonskin - looks great!!

Yes this is frustrating. They got the Golf R for example for between $30-35k (depending on whether they got a base model or fully loaded - thats how the Yanks refer to the specs) where we pay between $55k-70k depending on options. Mind you, the Yanks missed out on some of the options we got here, but thats still a huge price difference.

Nice choice on the Evoque - they are a stylish machine. And apparently quite good off road if you ever decided to try it. Did i read your signature correctly that they are a 9 speed gearbox? Far out.

Yeah mate - the MY14 specs all use 9 spd boxes. First in the world. On the highway at 100km/h, it only gets to gear 8 so i assume 9 is some very tall overdrive gear. I do miss the GTI though - I still think there is not a better drivers car out there under 100k. But I am an old man and diesel SUV it had to be!
