What do you love about your Polo?

[Buller_Scott]

hey shhplit man...

yeah- next time you run out of wiper water, just pour a sixth of a bottle of the polyglaze down the water pipe, then top up with water, diluting the mix....

then, its clean, clear shiny windscreen (where the blades rub, lol) anytime you want- splattered bugs come off nicely, too, with just a flick of the wiper stick.

its pretty good. i had the stuff in my vr6... and my hand-me-down discovery... works great. and easily accessible..

hummel- on the middle setting (little dot) on your mirror thing, pull it gently towards you for like ten seconds- heats up enough to almost evaporate water off the mirrors. i'd know- snow and water etc on your side mirrors are absolute wh0res....

an welcome welcome welcome, miss gti.... no offence, as i've had a coupla cab sav's but for some reason a girl driving around in a land whale aka falcobogundore, is no where near as attractive as a girl driving around in a vw- any vw. especially not a hot hatch like the pog gti.

but just because all girls look hot in gti polos, doesnt mean youre allowed to stop wearing high heels and skimpy-yet-classy/elegant dresses, 'kay?

but in all seriousness- they're a great little car. i'm absolutely in love with my tdi. if i won lotto (after buying into toorak, breckenridge, sapporo, and somewhere either in the dolomite or in bavaria) i would complete my mods, and just putter around the VIC countryside, which i havent really explored. oh, and if i had the money- i'd love to play a practical joke on the VW service boys- they loan me a car whilst my baby is in for service, and in the 8 hrs i have it, get it chipped, run a few couple hundred clicks to let the engine learn, then return it, haha.

"tell 'him he's DREAMIN...."

Have to agree totally. Always used to think I would die before I bought a diesel. Shopping for a small manoeuverable car for the wife last week. Not keen on the Polo grey/orange/green interior. Discovered Polo 09 Pacific TDI - black/grey interior with seats just like Golf Edition + leather steering wheel + 15in alloys + ours has ESP/side airbags.

Has nearly all the same gadgets as the Audi A3 1.8TFSI rental we have had a few times. Had the wheels off fitting mudflaps - surprised to find brake discs with VW/Audi markings. Gotta love technology trickle down.

Diesel torque is sooooo much fun to drive round town - not many cars that can keep up. Contemplating chipping if I can be totally convinced the turbo will survive (96kW/310NM overseas VW models have had some turbo failure problems), but 74kW/240NM TDI is pretty fast as it is round town.

(Wife happens to love the diesel noise. I don't but can only really hear it at idle. Hanging out for some BP Ultimate Diesel to see how much noise it gets rid of.)

I used to love my 97' Peugeot 306 turbo diesel, torque is the big winner around town, and up hills

Are they actually bringing this out??? I always thought diesel was pretty much just that... diesel.

It's just the crud they get from the bottom of the tank, yet it's more expensive than Premium ULP sometimes!!!

The joy it brings me when I drive since i've got my ECU flashed !!
THKS APR ! THKS Harding Performance !

[mikepologti]

i guess i like what every other hot hatch owner likes. the sheer look of surprise when you flog bigger cars at the lights,...........oh and just about everything else about the car lol

You leave your steering wheel sitting in the driveway ?

Did you buy the car with the R32 steering wheel or did you purchase the steering wheel seperately? If so how much did you pay for the wheel?

probably not going to find it much cheaper unless it's coming off a wrecked car.

Actually might possible be cheaper from the stealers because of the exchange rate now

R32 steering wheel

Lucky for me I used to work at a dealer, dodgy warranty claim it's actually a Golf Gti wheel, I purchased the R badge and replaced it. Total cost $23.

3 Things I love about my Polo GTI

3 Things I love about my Polo GTI.

1. LOOKS Its looks. Its all of the little things that I love about my car…IMO they all make it look great and not too over the top. I love the Honeycomb grill. I love the shape of the headlights. I love the original wheels. (Although mine have seen better days.) I love the leather interior (especially when its cold). I love the sunroof (use it everyday). The sound of the horn is awesome. (its such a happy sound)

2. QUALITY Everything has a quality feel to it that makes it a pleasure to . The way most people are impressed by it. Whenever it is parked in my street I hear positive comments- like “That car looks nice.” Whenever I have a passenger I hear positive comments- like “The seats are comfy.” Not once have I ever had a passenger that has not said something good about it.

3. SOLIDNESS I love the solidness of it. It feels like a strong and well made car, despite the creaks and a few rattles. The solid shut of the doors. Also how the doors have a heavy feel to them and you can tell they would protect you if you were in an accident. Generally the solidness makes you feel safe and secure.

The most annoying thing…THE BEEPING NOISE THAT IT MAKES WHEN YOU START UP AND DON’T HAVE YOUR SEAT BELT ON. CAR….STOP BEEPING AT ME!!! That’s so annoying! And you can't open the boot from the inside...that so .

You can fix the beeping noise through the dealer: Mine only beeps when I start driving without a seat belt. And also, you can open the boot from the inside by pressing the unlock key which unlocks all the doors, including the boot.

sorry to answer a off topic message with a off topic message. but im pretty sure , that oil being a very long hydro carbon chain. diesel is infact a less refined fuel , in the whole fractional distilation scheme of things.

pretty simple really oil goes in and is seperated by verious stages of heating.
now back on topic, my mum borrowed my car today,(she has no idea about vws) she said she almost shat herself when she put her foot down (she drives a yaris)... to conclude i love the thrill factor and surprise it puts into people driving it lol
