Paying of PCP

Hi all,

Re: Polo GTi or ......

Hi All,

Thanks for the replies, managed to get out last weekend and test drove (almost back to back) a Polo GTi, a Golf GTE and a Golf GTi to try them all.

And put pen to paper on the Golf GTi, for me it just suited my requirements the best of the 3, it’s also a manual which although I did like ...

Polo GTi or ......

So I have been on this forum for about 9 months or so but still haven’t made my mind up as to buying a polo gti, if I do then preferred version is gti+.

But lately I have been swaying towards a used mk7.5 Golf in either the GTE or the GTi

I currently have a 68 plate Seat Leon Fr on 18” Bridgestone ...

Re: VW Polo GTI is already phasing out...

Yeah my thoughts too... before the switch to hybrid then full electric... one last hurrah with a fossil fuel hot hatch :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

If the hybrid technology in the new Suzuki Swift Sport is anything to go by I’m not sure I want it....

“The new powertrain generates 127bhp, down 11bhp on the ...

Re: Polo Nivus

I actually quite like it, I think it would give the Ford puma / Toyota CHR a run for its money if they make it a mild hybrid.
Styling is more aggressive than the the somewhat disproportionate and boxy T Cross.... if they put in interior plastics that don’t resemble a garden shed they should be on ...

Re: Is it possible to turn off the wireless charging pod?

:shock: If memory serves me correct early Seat Arona’s had the wireless charging pad and with a GSM signal booster incorporated, but theses were recalled and Seat dealers had to deactivate the signal booster following an EU directive but I don’t remember why...

I’ll have a look on Seatcupra.net and ...

Re: New Pricelist, Effective 01/05/2020


Just had a good look through the brochure and pricelist GTI/GTI+ seems to get nothing new, nor do any of the lesser trims get anything new that translates right up through the rest of the range as standard equipment.

What a rip off.


This increase has done me in.... it’s taken months to ...

New Gti / Gti +

Hi all,
Looking for some honest advice.
Being one the unfortunate sods that have one of the VW groups 1.5 (130bhp) kangarooing engines... it’s a long issue so won’t go on about it....but basically I have had enough now and I’ve come to the conclusion I’m better to trade it and get shot.

So I’m ...
