Re: 2022 GTI - Soundaktor still?

I have to say also Iโ€™ve had mine in sport mode since buying a 2021 model and had no rattles. My old Octavia VRS meanwhile was a terrible rattler!

Re: Reliability of MY2019 Polo

Oh my word you really have been unlucky. We've all had a car like that in our time. Mine was a Honda Civic but not my Polo GTi. Fingers crossed, so far it's been faultless and not one rattle either.

Re: Any one ordered the new facelift GTI?

Sounds good. I was surprised that with the preface lift Climate was an option on the GTi + and glad mine also has it but good to see it's now standard, as it should be be at the price. Look forward to seeing pictures when it eventually arrives ๐Ÿ‘

Re: Any one ordered the new facelift GTI?

I've just placed an order for a Kings Red/Black Roof with Comfort, Driver Assistance, 18" alloys, Inductive Charging for the wife. 42 weeks I've been quoted so that will mean her 2019 GTi+ will be just over 3 years old. Hoping used prices hold up till then :) Lovely, nice spec. What did they s...

Re: 1.0 engine swap

You would save yourself a lot of pain and money if you traded it in for one with a more powerful engine, engine swopping in modern cars is seriously a lot of work and pain - and you would end up with a dog that no insurance company would give you a reasonable premium on for cover, and you would be ...

Good stuff. Looking forward to seeing the pictures when it eventually arrives. Well done on the discount. Not easy to get anything out of dealers at the moment I bet!

Re: Any one ordered the new facelift GTI?

Did you manage any discount? What colour and options did you go for. When I looked only white came with red dash as every other colour came with grey dash- good or bad depending on your perspective of course ๐Ÿ‘

Re: Any one ordered the new facelift GTI?

Absolutely. When I bought my GTi + we discussed the facelift and he said optimistically that 18 months for the facelift would be likely in the circumstances. Long way from SA at the best of times. Unbelievable if they increase price on it again in December. How high can they go as the price is getti...

Re: Any one ordered the new facelift GTI?

Agreed SRGTD. Spec for spec it's 11% more from my car and I really don't like the new seats or gear stick as look cheap to me. I expect the Fiesta ST will be close in price in a similar spec. It's amazing to think how quickly across the board car how high prices on all cars have become in a short sp...

Re: Any one ordered the new facelift GTI?

New GTi available for order today and configuration possible. Just one model now starting at ยฃ26430. Hefty price rise compared to pre facelift. A couple of options and close to a ยฃ30k car. Wow!
