UK-POLOS.NET - THE VW Polo Forum

Depends on your dog. We have a Labrador so we got a back seat crate off Amazon that covers the back seats completely. However the polo is the second car - you wouldn’t get a person in the back with a lab

We’ve got a polo R line facelift we’ve had from new since July 2022. So far it’s been reliable, quiet and comfortable. Well loaded with kit as well. The battery also isn’t in the boot so get the full use of the boot. Would recommend it to anyone considering a polo.

I’d certainly advise getting the faster sky activ X unless economy is your prime reason for the slower engine. Get one on test drive, I did and it was the better car (in my opinion) compared to the others I tested - XC40 and Lexus UX. The Mazda was £5k cheaper than the Volvo with more kit and had a ...

I got the CX30 Homura spec with the sky active X in auto so 8.6s 0-62. Took a bit to get used to as Mazda don’t use turbos, they just use 2L petrol engines. The car is comfortable, quieter than the troc I had in the past, doing 41-42mpg early on in its life and (touchwood) hasn’t put a foot wrong fr...

Have to say SRGTD I’m incredibly happy with my Mazda. So far hasn’t put a foot wrong. I had a lot of VWs and there was always something with every car - usually minor and liveable with but sometimes major. Touchwood the Mazda has been bullet proof, everything works well and the fit and finish is lov...

I had a gti plus as well prior to the facelift but never took it on any long journeys so couldn’t comment on the difference there. All I know is it was the final nail for the gti as my wife then said we need a new car. Some days I miss the speed and the fact I owned a gti, but now having actual phys...

I had the facelift and both complaints are real. The soundaktor can cause rattles so I used to have it individual mode with engine noise set to eco as SRGTD said in another post. Now the noise on the motorway was why I got rid of my gti in the end. On my 35-45 minute commute to work alone it was tol...

Yes the ride gets firmer in sport mode to the point that I set the settings in individual mode as sport bar the ride and exhaust noise. The fake speaker noise was annoying in sport mode.

I had two facelift GTIs and I had a GTI plus before that. The first facelift went after two months because the infotainment system wouldn’t let me log in to use it at full potential and had constant crashes. It went into the garage and VW acknowledged this was a “common problem” across all their car...

Not to worry you, but when I had my first 72 plate facelift it had massive infotainment issues where it wouldn’t log in, half of it wouldn’t work, etc. it went into VW Bolton who, at the time, were good. After 3.5 weeks there was no progress, as they were waiting for VW to come back to them as it wa...

I had my gti for 12500 miles in one year and didn’t have a complaint. No rattles or squeaks, just an infotainment that occasionally decided to reboot itself. My wife has an r line that’s 18 months old and had a United for two year before that. No issues with either. I think what people forget is it’...

I did ask them that and they said it’s because someone looking for a VW doesn’t generally go to a Mazda dealer. Not a bad price for the mileage.

If anyone wants a good condition run in gti mines at Perrys Preston

I do like Mazda’s CX30, and the styling of Mazda’s current model range. My next car may well be a non-VW, although I don’t change my car that often (usually every 4.5 - 5 years), so if VW - and the wider VAG - get their act together in the next couple of years and sort out the software issues that ...
