Re: Adaptive Cruise Control /City Emergency Braking - useful

Must say I got it primarily for the city braking element. There's so much stop/start traffic nowadays I felt it would be very useful. I try to be as careful as I can in slow traffic but I'm as liable as everyone else to lose concentration for some reason or other. It happens! Has anyone any ...

Adaptive Cruise Control /City Emergency Braking - useful?

Hi everyone. All info on the 6C is great and will be valuable when I pick up my TSI 90 SE in Carmen Red specced with Adaptive Cruise / City Emergency Braking. I would love to hear from those who have this if they are finding it as useful as VW claim. It was an expensive option but I thought if it ...

Agree 100%. Noting a previous post - if I do get lumbered with these I'll just hold out for a straight swop.

Re: 'Lyon' 15" alloys for new Polo - 2 different designs!

They're the decent ones. An example of the 'busy' ones to which I'm referring are shown at this address:

Thanks for the feedback. I'm still toying with the idea of getting the 'Knights ...

Re: 'Lyon' 15" alloys for new Polo - 2 different designs!

Went to a couple of dealerships yesterday and noticed that around half the new Polos dotted around had those 'busy' 15s fitted. Also, quite a few demonstrators are now up for sale around the country and when viewed on-line they are all, without exception, referred to by the dealerships as 'Lyon' 15 ...

'Lyon' 15" alloys for new Polo - 2 different designs!

Hi all. I'm waiting on a 1.2 TSI SE Carmen Red ordered with some add-ons - ACC, navigation, folding mirrors, Light & Sight. As for wheels, I was tempted by the 16" 'Knight' alloys which look amazing but I decided to stick with the 10-spoke 'Lyon' alloys as per the brochure, they look fine. Yesterday ...

Re: Anyone currently waiting on a 6C factory order?

Thanks for the response vc-10. I looked into led lights when configuring the car but it seems they can only be fitted as a £900 package, too much for me and most others I would imagine. Hence my pleasure in seeing among the posts some details about simply fitting led bulbs in place of the halogens ...

Re: Anyone currently waiting on a 6C factory order?

Hello all. This is only my second post so I hope I'm doing things right! After reading through all the informative stuff on this great site, I've a few questions, please, regarding replacing halogen bulbs with LEDs on my new Polo when I get it. Please forgive my ignorance, but does replacing the ...

Re: Anyone currently waiting on a 6C factory order?

Hi there, just joined the group and spotted your post. In answer to your question, yes, me (with quite a few others I suspect). I ordered a TSI SE 90 PS in Carmen Red on 14 November. Still 'With Factory' on the Tracker, I took the advice of another postee and have just given VW a call. Good service ...
