Re: Ordering a new Polo GTi

Drivethedeal appear to currently be the cheapest advertised price.

As far as I know if you pay off the PCP early you still keep any sweeteners e.g. the £1000 deposit contribution, insurance and servicing plan.

Re: Appconnect

I've read that Car-Net App-Connect will be available as an option from week 22 (May 25th). Nothing more than that - waiting to hear back from VW UK for more details.

Re: Light and and sight pack or convenience pack?

FFS. Thanks for the heads up. Why VW can't get a simple thing right like the description of these packs on the website is beyond me. I'll be chasing my dealer for a discount on this now.

Re: New GTI

It doesn't mean half a year wait. We're on week 17 now so it'll be built in 9 weeks time.

If all goes to plan mine will have been built within 5 weeks from order, which admittedly seems quick compared to other orders and it has a lot of options too.

Interlagos was the tartan in the Mk5 Golf GTI.

Jacara is the current tartan in the Polo GTI & Mk7 Golf GTI.

Some photos of the actual show cars here: http://classics.honestjohn.co.uk/news/event-news/techno-classica-2015/volkswagen-marks-40-years-of-the-polo/ The blue of the Polo L being an inspiration for Mayan Blue perhaps?

Re: Buying a 6R - Advice on engine & model...

Polo cost me 1.6k to sort, VW wanted nothing to do with it. That made me sick to the stomach, and although I've just 'invested' 1.6k into the car I honestly just want rid of it at the moment, it really ruined my relationship with the car, and the engine is pretty out-dated. All I can say is Volkswa...

Top spec, Titanium X EcoBoost 1.0 125PS engine Not 100% about the interior or back end, but test drive booked for next week. Power and extras are 'day and night' compared to the Polo. What was the outcome of the timing chain issue on your Polo? Fiestas are good to drive but I don't think they're qu...
