Re: Polo BlueGT 3 months and 2500 miles

my issue is down to personal preference, wish they had a bit more initial bite and feel and were more progressive when enjoying some spirited driving

Re: Polo BlueGT 3 months and 2500 miles

mrs w has been using the GT for a few days and funnily enough here only criticism is the brakes personally i don't mind the steering weight, as around town its firm enough when battling multi storeys i wanted a warm hatch as a daily as whilst i love my Golf i wouldn't want to use it everyday for aro...

Re: New Polo Blue GT and creaky wing mirrors

Re: Polo BlueGT 3 months and 2500 miles

mine has gone through the 3,500 mile barrier and got a nice 24 hour blast to Brussels planned for it - in reality i wasn't bothered with the auto lights - i believe the autolock can be done via VCDS (i miss this) - folding mirrors would have been nice, however, these tend to have a mind of their own...

Re: Polo Blue GT

I didn't even consider the GTI given it has dsg and can have a thirst for oil, also not what I wanted in terms of need, in reality low road tax, reasonable economy but something a bit sporty, I've got two Golf GTIs to play in for fun Originally I was going for an A500 abarth but dealers were shockin...

Re: foglights wiring

Guys, old thread I know, but as I'll soon be fitted front fogs into the wife's new Blue GT (see other thread of mine), did anyone actually do a guide to fitting and wiring them up please ? Also, according to ELSAWIN, to remove the blank grill covers you first need to completely remove the front bum...

Re: Polo Blue GT

used the Edition 35 for my commute to London today for the first time since I got the Blue GT, filled it up tonight and £25 (thirst for super) whereas the Blue GT is costing me £12-£15 a day, car pretty much pays for itself in what it saves in fuel
