    SELL 2012 77TSI for 2012 POLO GTI?

    hi guys, looking for opinions.
    i have a manual, 77tsi with sport comfort and audio packs. she is stock except for adjustable coilovers and rear muff delete. currently 25k on the clock.

    ive been looking and polo gti's are selling for around the 21.5 mark. My plan would be to get one still in warranty, and have the owner add extended warranty ( with my $$) before purchase so it transfers to me.

    reasons are :
    im sick of changing gears
    tartan
    moar power
    interior comfort
    and the name.
    i figure if i can get 17-18 for mine, and pick up a gti for around 22, its well worth the extra 5k

    whats scaring me is oil consumption and ongoing warranty issues.

    any thoughts??

    Sure...the blunt version:

    Stick with your manual TSI...wait and purchase a different vehicle with similar stats or better stats to the Polo GTi (ford fiesta ST manual, Peugot 208 GTi).

      Well I haven't had any MAJOR problems so I'd say go for it! The GTI really is a much better car to drive.

        Buying a new focus etc is out of the question. I'm a vw fan and would like to stick with the brand regardless of their issues.

        I agree with fun. I'm 25 and still at Uni. I want something a bit of fun. I can save boring cars for later.

          I love my MY12.5 GTI and it was the best decision ever to get a fun car. I had a Mazda 3 SP23 previously and it was alright. It's been over a year and every time I get into the gti I can't wait to drive it.

          Do it.

          For me, aside from checking my oil occasionally (and I don't have oil issue) ice never had to take mine in for warranty repairs. Touch wood.

              Cheaper option would be to get a tune. Only $700 bucks, that brings it up to 100kw. I love my manual. Cant get enough of it. Each to their own.

                I'm a fan of the auto , interior , exterior differences etc. it's only costing $30 a week more on finance too

                  Fair enough. You selling privately or trade in. I looked up car sales and your car is selling privately between $13k and $14.8k. Or trade in 10k or 11.1k you got someone lined up?

                    Room mate wants to buy it for 15k. Dealer has a friend negotiating for 16. So here's hoping

                          Where do you get a tune to bring the 77TSI up to 100KW?

                            Chosen to keep it. The $30 a week extra option didn't consider I'd be paying 180 for a two year extra period so it was about 18000 extra I'd end up paying. Not work it for 30kw and some pretty seats.

                            The tune is by DNA. I've ordered it and the laptop should be here next week. Looks to bring the power up to around 100kw with earlier torque delivery etc. info on forums here somewhere just search for it. Lots of guys running the tune and everyone seems pretty happy.

                            So yeah the plan is tune , some fat wheels, custom down pipe and forge intake. There's some gti seats on eBay but they look really grubby so I might give them a miss

                              not really sure on the forge intake, seems like you would be replacing the factory box that is disigned to such in cold cleaner air, with something that doesnt really appear like it would give any hp gains. would make a nice induction sound though
