UK-POLOS.NET - THE VW Polo Forum

new polo looks promising mite have to take one for a test drive when thy eventuallt gets over here. just wana point out though it's aussie review

it will do the salewoman told me today when i got some info on it. VW will specify it so effectively it's a no cost option except it aint an option if that makes sense.

a fabia vrs matches the elise so the GT may just shade it but with an ecu remap it will show an elise a dusty pair of heels.

that's it and the reason i'm off to test drive a golf 130 to get a feel of the engine before I order a Polo GT. then after a few thousand miles comes a call to AMD and a healthy 300 lb ft of boy racer killing torque.

it's more about in gear acceleration than 0-60. a 200bhp diesel could probably humble a CTR in a 30-50 and 50-70.

it's all about torque in real world driving not 0-60.

That's what I'm hoping but sometimes you never know vith VW. I'll go into the garage tommorrow ask them a few questions about it.

Just have to get rid off my piece of **** megane coupe now and take a £2k loss on it but at least I'll have a good car in september.

I think the GT will be the car I go for I just need to find out what insurance group it's gonna be in. Still being a 20 year old unfortuantely may rule it out if it's much higher than group 11.

I don't spose the lease company told you did they?

Glad to have helped.

I just need to decide between a chipped GT and fully loaded Lupo GTi. Residuals don't matter cos I'l be off loading it to my little sis in 2 years when she reaches 17.

Any suggestions?

Most chip tuners give a warranty so if anything goes wrong with the car because of the chip or remap they cover the cost.

You could also check out www.revotechnik.com they do a remap which is undetectible so the lease comapny or VW wouldn't know unless they drove the car.

You'd just have to make ...

Take a look on www.vw.co.uk
under new developments there's the Polo GT I think i says the tax bandings but not 100% sure.

Consider this aswell, AMD can chip the GT upto 185bhp for £550. Now that'l surprise a few people in Cooper S's.

I was speaking to a woman from VW yesterday and she said the " The Polo GT will be available to order in 2-3 weeks with deliveries starting end of August, but you'd be better waiting until September for a new reg"

As for the tax I'm pretty sure they'll be the same as VRs and Ibiza.

AMD can chip the 130 TDi upto 185 bhp.

Imagine the power there, you'd be wasting Cooper S's all day long.

not too bothered it's better than the boot on my megane coupe at present.

the only thing that bothers me slightly is the lack of air con on most in my 2nd hand price range. I don't think it will bother me too much though it's got leccy windows.

i've been looking at a lupo 1L today just for size and it seems fine so i'll have to drive both polo and lupo before i make my mind up.

either way i'll end up witha great car.

Newbie here.

I'm looking at getting a GTi in the next month or so and was wondering how much the 0-60 time drops by with a decent induction kit eg BMC and full exhaust system.

Thanks.
