Re: Software update

Thanks for that! :D I'll look for one

I still think a battery shouldn't go flat in 2 weeks standing, my other cars usually do far more long time, tho they are a Morris Minor , an MG MEtro and an MG TF which neither of them think use as much power as the Polo.

Handling!

what does everyone think of the 6R's handling? I think it's quite hairy! pushed my a bit and could feel the car understeer quite a lot! I can honestly say my Metro handles better! :S

stereo problem

Just got my 6R yesterday, very happy with the car but as soon as i left the showroom i noticed the radio was not working! my car is fitted with a €600 option stereo which is a rip off as it's exactly like this!!
