Re: New Polo GTI+

Out of curiosity got a couple of questions about the DSG in general
Is the DSG easier to drive particularly in traffic.
Is it reliable? i.e. able to last several years.

Not having driven a DSG before thought i'd ask the questions on peoples experiences with it.Like for example on the previous GTI.

Re: new GTI not available

Thanks for the info and helpful advice I think I will now wait until the manual version comes out later this year. I will probably order the GTI (not + version) in black with the iron matt dash winter pack, sat nav, full led lights I'm not keen on the GTI+ because it comes with push button start. S...

How reliable is the Mk5 GTI

Hello

I'm thinking of buying a used GTI with manual gearbox. I've done a couple of test drives last year on it and liked it.
What is it like for reliability? how easy is it live with? anything to avoid be cautious of?

Re: new GTI not available

Thanks for the info. Thats a shame. I'm now considering the previous GTI. I found one used on VW website here https://usedcars.volkswagen.co.uk/en/used-cars/volkswagen/polo/18-tsi-gti-192-ps-5-dr-nxbg93j I ran a check on it and appears to be outstanding finance on it. Seems very cheap for having don...
