UK-POLOS.NET - THE VW Polo Forum

Hi all,

Apologies if this has been discussed elsewhere - if it has I can't seem to find it, but that's probably a reflection of something I'm doing wrong...

I recently got back from a few weeks away; the last time I drove my Polo (a one-litre 2016 R-Line) the cruise control was working just fine ...

No, but there's a reason for that: horrible stone chip on the front when I got there, that they've agreed to spray, but only just had the appointment for this confirmed...

Thanks, all. Yeah, I suspected that was the case. Fortunately I'd decided I wanted the car before he said that, not afterwards; I'd have been fuming if that'd made my mind up and then learnt it wasn't true.

I'm tempted to email the salesman to let him know he's mistaken, but my first impression was ...

Finally got the deal I was after and bought the R-Line I had my eye on. It's my first VW (third car) and after collecting a fortnight or so ago, am really happy with the way it looks and drives. Beyond some appalling customer service after making the purchase, the only thing I'm disappointed about ...

Thanks. Did that result in the loss of your services, or...?

Hi all,

Am considering agreeing to buy a car with VW Finance, and then cancelling the finance agreement and paying it off asap, basically to take advantage of the deposit they offer. Has anyone tried this, and if so is it as straightforward as just paying one day's interest (if I pay it off that ...

Appreciate you saying so, mate. Incidentally, I've since noticed (which tells you I've not yet gone for it) it doesn't seem that much more than the other colours when I search. A grey one went for what in hindsight seems a good price; I suspect I've just been underestimating their value.

I'm considering paying much more money for a used metallic java polo, simply because I consider it a really nice colour and have seen so few of them on the road. I was wondering, however: is it remotely high maintenance? For example I like black cars, but have never allowed myself to buy one because ...

Thanks for all the replies so far, gents. All really helpful; the article, too. Largely what I wanted to hear, incidentally. Those of you who've done a fair few miles, have you had any issues so far? Would still like to hear from any 1.2 89 owners, if possible?

Hi all,

Not new to the forum - largely because I've been doing my research - but this is my first post.

The time's come for me to upgrade my car. I really like the look of the R-Line (have my heart set on the grey, although there are still times I'm tempted by both the black and red) and can't ...
