Picked up my '06 Black Polo GTi with leather and sunroof last night. 37,000 on the clock, and still a few years of extended warranty too.

Very happy with the car thus far.

Welcome Break!

Glad to hear you are enjoying it.

There is plenty to read here once you've settled.

planning any upgrades?

planning any upgrades?

I'm planning to eventually do the APR upgrade, but for now I'm happy to keep it as is seeing the purpose of buying this was to settle down from my string of painfully high maintenance performance cars (MY05 WRX WRP10 1 of 200 in Aus, then a track setup '99 Mx5 10AE 1 of 150 in Aus).

I'm just glad to have a fun car that I isn't temperamental and comfortable in traffic

Brand New 2009 Polo GTI

[tooch]

Signed up for a brand new Polo GTI in silver yesterday, for the grand sum of $23,888

For the price I couldn't say no, considering most demo's were selling for more than that, and the Golf GTI's (which I initially really wanted) were still pushing $30k for ones with no warranty left and upwards of 70,000km.

I get it on November 4, and can't wait!! I've never had a car younger than 15 years old, let along a brand spanker, so am very excited!

First mods will be window tint and some nice matt black mesh rims with a red stripe around the edge, a slight lowering, and just minor mods for now. ECU flash etc will come eventually

Just got a call to say it'll be 24 hours late due to the pre-delivery department finding a faulty locking module or something

Always fills you with confidence when they find faults on a new car!

better than the alternative visit in a week when it's not working. Plus this time next week you'll have forgotten all about it as you diving from one corner to the next.


I had a lady hit my car on saturday on the way to Mike Webbers performance. Fortunately she just clipped me, so will be a new rim, some lower quarter panel damage and very likely the hub assembly as it now has a slight hum to it. She simply didn't see me, but minimal damage and she was very apologetic, accepted complete blame so will get it fixed and move on. My newest car, and the only time I've had to swap insurance details

oh well, could have been a lot worse so no sour grapes - it happens.

So the modifications will be put off for a few weeks till I know the cars sweet.

[tooch]

Very true, that would be far worse! And the one extra day will make me even more excited to get the car!

And ouch, sucks about your accident but at least it wasn't worse and it's all covered!

That reminds me...better not forget about my insurance before going to get the car

[tooch]

WOOT!
Just picked up the car, I love it
So nice to have a brand new car, everything is immaculate and nice!

Has a small scratch on the rear bumper which the dealership missed, but they made a note so it will get taken care of at the first service

[BTJ]

Its a black polo club with 30k on the clock. Tinted windows and the full bodykit plus 17inch mags.

Cant wait and am looking forward to no longer suffering without air conditioning.

Then the dealer rings and says it wont be ready until tuesday.

This day at work just got a lot longer

Bah! That sucks.

Seems to be common, I think the stealers will tell you what you want to hear to get you signed up, then if they have to delay, what can you do...
