Re: Polo Blue GT

Hey Wigit, when I saw you that morning in mid March, did wonder what you'd done with alloys. Bet it looks great now. So is that a Golf R you have as well. That's some garage. As a general point saw another BlueGT today at A11 / A14 junction heading North. It was a nice new 14 reg. Andy Will look ev...

Re: Polo Blue GT

Seems I have lost the Blue GT to my wife having only driven it for two miles in the last month, she seems to like pottering around in it and is loving the fuel economy and the proper Bluetooth integrated to the RCD and seems to be running well on the winters, she hated my 500 so testament to the car...

Re: Polo Blue GT

well the Blue GT has now done 9,500 miles so had its first service today, no issues, when i took my alloys off the VW centres were a bit poor on the clip front, just swapped them and gave me the originals back as they said dealing with VW was a PITA given they had not removed them etc when i went to...

Re: Is the Polo GT much more economical than the GTI?

i did a real mix of driver but in reality the GT is bettering my previous 500TA which you did have to drive like a saint

i will say after 5,000 miles things start to improve range wise
