Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

    excellent review .... the urge is building

    Will be hard to sell my Evo but getting back into a comfy/economical GTI will ease the pain!

        i think the first mod would be a decent wrap to cover it with something. Hard to say though until i get a look at the colour choices for it. I believe there are many

          I'm surprised there isn't a popular polo gti thread.

          I am tossing up between a manual polo gti and abarth 595 competizione in manual. I don't care about passenger space as it is for me and fun factor. However I feel abarth would be heaps fun but the polo gti offers extras I will most likely want in the abarth.

          Let's hope likeany said that Volkswagen Australia doesn't **** up specs and pricing. It has to be 35k including on roads Max. If any higher then its not going to be worth it when you can get a golf close to its pricing.

            i am very surprised too. Back when i had my 9N3 Polo, the forum was super active.

            Is there another VW forum that is more active than this one that I'm not aware of?

            I guess chat could ramp up after actual local release...well, i hope it does

                I think all the ‘noise’ is over in the Mk7 GTI/R thread. Thinking back, I had a 206 GTi180 ‘way back when’ (2005) and as the family grew (and I got older), so did the size of the cars.

                I’ve bucked the trend to offset the sheer size of a Kluger. Downsizing from a Mk6 GTI to a 6C GTI......

                  I followed, drove alongside and passed a new Polo GTi to work this morning, until he turned off in the direction of VW HO. It was plain white and as a result it looked very bland, just didn't stand out at all in the traffic. The "Volkswagen" (no dealer) number plates were the first thing I noticed (I'm used to seeing VW company cars, so that's the first thing I look for), then the Gti badge, then the wheels. Sitting next to it in traffic it looked quite bit bigger than my 2017 Gti. Must be getting close to launch if they let then out and about in peak hour traffic. The web site still has only "Register Your Interest".

                    I saw both a white and a red Polo GTI in Regents Park yesterday about 10 minutes apart. The red one came up behind me and overtook.

                      It's really depressing. I keep checking back here, have been for months but it's dead. This car is going to be awesome and just imagine the tunes that will be available. I can't wait to see what actual drive away prices people are getting. My dealer said most in QLD are only getting 2 cars each at launch

                          1st Australian review VW Polo GTI tested: pint-sized pocket rocket grows up

                          Looks pretty good, though getting pricey ..... manual Golf GTI is only $3K more if you add a few options ....

                          As I said before, no manual no sale to me. And I'm ready to buy .... loving the manual 110TSI Trendline Golf I'm driving most days but its almost time for it to go to my daughter so unless a Polo GTI manual makes its appearance soon, I'll probably buy a 130iN as a runaround.

                            I think you may see a manual in 2019.

                            I also looked at the i30N but didn't like the inside much. I opted for a GTI Original with DAP and extended warranty and paid less than the Polo GTI fully spec'd.

                              It is a good YouTube channel.
                              my new Polo GTi should be in my hands at the end of October.
