Im not entirely sure yet to be honest. I was just going to get the basic model in candy white!
However.... main stelaers want 15995 on finance/lease hire (thing). I dont do financial terminoligy it confuses the hell out of me. Either way! Im now probably going to get oen second hand from a dealer. Ive been on ebay and seen them up for £11,000 with as little as 8k on the clock. I shall find the linky! In a moment, more excited childish rambling for now.
I took one out for a test drive yesterday. It was a black three door. It was incredible! I fell in love with it there and then so i need one!
After drivign that i dont think im too fussed on extras and colour. My only preference is that i dont get red. Not because it doesnt look good, because it does. Its because every poxy car ive ever owned was bloody red lol.
Does anybody know what kind of extent you can go to with modifications without voiding the warranty?

i bought it i bought it i bought it ner ner ner
wicked little car. i agree with everyone who says they need a remap though. seemed really quick at first where i havent been driving for a few months. but my reaction timing is back up to scratch now and i realise shes about the samespeed asmy mk2golf! maybe a bit quicker off the line but overall i think the golf may be a little bit faster. Defo has higher top end (according to figures ive seen posted on the polo and what ive actually done in the golf)
im well impressed with the car though. so many gadgets and buttons to play with! so much fun.
Only problem so far is that i got the cup holder stuck twice yesterday lol.

I managed to get my cup holder stuck lastnight, I can't figure out how to get it back out again

that happens to mine all the time
only one way to do it is brute force, pull it back out
and make sure that the flappy bits are folded in before it goes in and matches the other one!!

There is a little white button on the cup holder to release it so it comes back out if you've jammed the flaps.

only thing you can see is the plastic bit that you need to tug at! lol
