Hi Gavlar. I'm getting mine 5/2/19 in Denmark. It could be the same shipment

I dont think the Brescias will look bad powder coated, the spokes are thin and look complex. Large flat surfaces like the Parker wheel has will not look as good painted in 1 colour rather than having the shadow effect that the black on polished alloy has. I'm not able to powder coat them since the ...

Ordered Sept 4th 2018... Got a build week commencing 25/03/2019

That's not too bad considering that I ordered mine in the start of June 2018 and I'll be getting mine in two weeks

Hi guys.

Since I'll be leasing for a period of two years I'm searching for great bang for the bucks wintertires for my Polo GTI?

I'm planing on using them on the Brescia rims.

Does anyone know what kind of tires it is? Is it 225/35-R18?

my local dealer in Denmark just informed that a huge batch (incl. mine) has just arrived in Germany.

I see so many negative comments and complaints all over this forum. Like condensation, handbreak issues, gearbox issues, fuel economy, glitchy touch screens, squeeky breaks, bad tires and so on. I am wondering if people are actually enjoying their GTI and/or if it is even enjoyable? I am getting min...

It is rather confusing with driver profile modes and then the D or S gearbox mode. Why didn't they just incorperate the gearbox modes in the profile modes? Or did they? What is sportier - D mode and sport or S mode and normal? You can only have S mode for the gearbox if you are in Sport (as far as ...

What is sportier - D mode and sport or S mode and normal?

I thought I had been waiting ordered gti+ October still no build date also with sunroof Do you mean October 2017, or October 2018? If 2017, you have been waiting too long, but if you ordered in October 2018, you might be lucky if you get it for Christmas 2019 the way VW are performing :( I can conf...

Hi MonkeyHanger.

Do you know if there is any difference between console sport and the one the display shows?

I would assume it isn't as much as you would think. I've heard that some of the car functions are limitted while using ECO mode. The ACC especially is effected by ECO mode and isn't as effective. Another thing is that the car feels more heavy and not as responsive as you might want a GTI car to be. ...

In any case.. You can't go wrong by driving in normal mode

What I would do is to personalize the individual mode for my every day driving. Find out what settings you like or dislike. It all comes down to the way you drive and how economy minded you are ofc :) I'm not too sure if there is any difference between the console and touch screen. The sport mode on...

Hi Grant. I believe the biggest difference between the modes are the speeder response and how fast the car actually up and downshifts gear. ECO modes usually forces you in the highest gear possible to limit fuel consumption. Normal mode is somewhat similar, but it will grant you that extra power whe...

Hi guys. After 8 months of waiting I'll finally be getting my Polo GTI start February. I'm very exicited ! My question is : What settings would you recommend to enable or disable on the polo gti? I've heard several of you guys that it's ideal to set the auto-brake to late in order to not get those b...
