UK-POLOS.NET - THE VW Polo Forum

Hi guys,

Been a member on the forums for a while now but finally got round to taking some pictures of my Polo. It's a 1.2 TSI SEL in Candy White, with the 17" Boavista Alloys and the RCD 510 options. I apologize for the quality of the photos but my photography skills aren't the best and the dull weather doesn't do them any justice I lucked into the number plate which I think is rather cool ending in VWP (Volkswagen Polo) My plans for the car aren't much, I just intend to add a Chrome Tip to the exhaust, tint the rear windows and maybe get some lowered springs. Hope you like it!

Cute! (Polo, not the pink furry dice...). Aren't you finding the arm rest gets in the way of the handbrake and gearstick? I just keep mine in the up position all the time, and think it's a serious design flaw by VW.

Nice one on the numberplate - we only had the choice of two, neither of which were terribly inspiring so we went with the slightly more memorable one (SLU), which only brings rather negative words to my mind...

How is your fuel consumption? We've just done a 300 mile motorway journey (first since owning Polo), and only managed 41.7mpg, but then most of our driving is round town which gets about 37-38mpg.

nice mate

Great looking car

Hi mate, nice car

Did you buy it from Abridge Harlow?

Thanks for your comments Carol, my fuel consumption is amazing, my journey home after collecting the car was 250 miles and I stuck to 65-70 on the motorway and I managed 49.8 which I was really happy with. I mainly do motorway driving and I'm averaging 425 miles a tank, that's with the occasional lead foot syndrome The arm rest is a little nuisance but I love having it there!

JIC Cracked, the car was from Abridge Harlow

The armrest can get in the way of the handbrake yup, but i tend to only use the armrest during motorway driving, i rarely rest my arm during normal driving

Bit out of topic, but does the polo have a hill hold function o_O?

Hey, yes, all the polo's have the hill hold function, still getting used to not needing the handbrake for hill starts.

Haha i see i see lol

I was on a hilland pressed the brake really hard.. and let go and didnt roll back, fora second i thought my brakes were stuck LOL! silly me...

But glad it has the hill hold function

That looks quality, really nice spec

They are the 17" Boavista alloys They're not standard on the SEL but are available as an option extra, must have in my opinion
