Admittedly, my car was built at VW's German Wolfsburg plant, whereas the Blue GT's are made in Spain, but even so, it hopefully won't take that much longer ?

My dealer told me the BlueGTs are built in South Africa.... (well, that's where mine's coming from, apparently!)

Faye - I also considered the A1 sportback sport, but the biggest negative was the rear seemed cramped, both from a rear view and sitting in it. With the seat at my driving position, I can easily sit in the back of the Polo, I had nowhere near as much room in the A1. Drove nice enough though. Yes, I...

Hi, New member here - put down a deposit for a blue, blueGT on Friday which apparently is already in build in the factory. Been told roughly 4-5 weeks at the moment (the spec of the car was already fixed). I'm coming from a Peugeot 207 Gti, so used to not seeing many of what I drive on the roads! M...

I've seen none and I've been on the M6 daily, M1, A1M and M25 in the last few months and nothing. Plenty of normal Bluemotion Polos, but no GT badges. I've only ever seen two and they were at the dealerships!

Finally have a build date scheduled for my BlueGT - Week 40 (first week of October). Apparently that's still on schedule for an October delivery. I feel like sending the factory some go-faster stripes! Ah Cowboy Bebop, one of the best anime's ive ever watched! Wow! Someone finally understands the F...

Ok, well I'll ask them but not just yet, the poor saleswoman's had several emails from me already in the past 2 weeks asking random questions.

I know the car has had the build date scheduled, but when that is I don't yet know.... so it's a while off getting debadged! lol

Just a thought.... Does anyone know if I ask the dealership, will they debadge it for me before I pick it up? I'd want the 'Bluemotion' badge taken off the back as it's pointless, just leaving the GT badge, but I'd rather not do it myself, just in case I ruin my brand new car. I know some manufactur...

That is so gorgeous and I love the modifications you've done to it, subtle changes that really make a difference! I'd be interested in removing the Bluemotion badge (why call it a BlueGT and then put Bluemotion GT on the back?) I have to wait til October now for mine but if it looks half a good as y...

Hmm, I'm guessing then that if I want the Bluetooth through the RCD 510 then they'll want another bundle of cash! I think I got a good deal too, a couple of hundred pounds more than the lowest broker price but I got the radio upgrade chucked in, in all just under £3000 off of list! So you bought yo...

Finally put my order in! 5 door BlueGT Blue Silk Anthracite alloys Multifunction steering wheel Got a great price from my local dealer after they matched an online quote (eventually!) and I got three years servicing, mats and a full tank of fuel chucked in for free, so I'm very happy! Looking at a l...

Yeah got a recommendation from a friend who bought her Golf from Tamworth to go there, so it's really just "who do I pick?!" I'll sort it out mid-June after we get back. Only got a week left in this country so won't have time to start checking out dealerships just yet but going to get some...

I'm getting about 50-55 in my current car so as long as the BlueGT can keep up with that, I'm happy!

To those who have had their BlueGT's for a few months, what sort of MPG figures are you reporting? Honest John seems to think that real world MPG figures are 69% lower than stated by VW - any experience of this?
