Any reason for the switch to VW? You've bought yourself a cracking car, not often do you see Reflex Silver on GTi's but I think it's one of the best colours, give more depth to the body bulges. Also I personally think the 4 door version makes the Polo look better proportioned, make sure you get pics up as soon as you can

New Polo GTI on order
Good choice on colour can't wait to see it fella sounds really good
Re: New Polo GTI on order
Cannot wait for it to arrive!!
I was originally going for a blue one, but with me being OCD with car cleaning I decided against it for being to dark and would show up all the scratches.
My main reason for changing to a VW is that I am getting fed up of the 50 mile round trip to the decent Seat dealer when the car goes wrong. Where as now I could probably hit the VW dealer with a stone if a threw it.
I had so many problems with the Cupra, it got to the point in 10 months of ownership the dealer had the car for 3 months of that, so they swapped the car for the Leon. thing is I really miss the Cupra and hate the Leon, so thought I would give the Polo a go instead.

Welcome to VW!
Good choice on the Polo - any reasons for the change from SEAT?

Re: New Polo GTI on order
Ah no worries. It took the mods 2 days to approve the post. Very frustrating. Things get a bit muddled up.
Re: New Polo GTI on order
Welcome to the forum, I'm sure you'll enjoy the polo!

Re: New Polo GTI on order
I've also moved from SEAT to VW.
Kinda miss the sporty aesthetics of a SEAT... Still on the path of adding sporty touches on my VWs (Golf Variant and Polo).
The problems you had on the SEAT, and since it shares the same mechanics as a VW, would not return with the Polo?
Cheers!

Re: New Polo GTI on order
Good choice. As a fellow 5 door owner you picked a few extras I should have gone for. Mine is black and aslways looks filthy
You'll love it.

Re: New Polo GTI on order
Picked up mine today, it's nice . Same spec as yours apart from radio and winter pack. Mines also reflex silver, it's gorgeous colour. I previously owned a black mk4 seat cupra, not going miss cleaning black hehe.
Btw I didn't order parking sensors or cruise control but that came standard, it was a £300+ option for me when ordering in march.

If you are running away from Seat to VW for quality issues, probably not a wise move seeing as the Polo GTI comes off the same production line in Pamplona. However, if the dealership is close to you for all the warranty work, then that's ok, at least it's not far to go:)vedubber wrote:Cannot wait for it to arrive!!

I think the cruise control and sensors went in as standard after the prices went up in January.Poochy wrote:Picked up mine today, it's nice . Same spec as yours apart from radio and winter pack.

I ordered December and collected March 1st and had to pay extra but the RRP was cheaper too begin with.

I am not running away from seat. Not at all. Just fed up with having to keep taking the car miles to get it fixed.gavs wrote:If you are running away from Seat to VW for quality issues, probably not a wise move seeing as the Polo GTI comes off the same production line in Pamplona.

I miss the Cupra massively. Loved the punch and DSG. if I had the choice I still would have it. Just hope the polo lives up to the Cupra.
